Strap for Montbrillant 01 Red Gold / Diamondworks / Aurora Blue / Croco

The lug width of the Breitling Montbrillant RB013067.C896.718P is 20mm, measured between the inner faces of the lugs using a digital calliper. Accurate measurement is essential to ensure a proper fit between the case and the strap, avoiding any play or excessive tension.

For a red gold case, a belly-cut alligator strap with a gloss finish is the most coherent choice aesthetically: the symmetrical grain complements the warmth of the case material. Alternatively, shell cordovan in burgundy or cognac develops a natural patina that improves with wear. Vegetable-tanned calf leather is the most versatile option for daily use.

The strap is removed using a flat-tip or hook-style spring bar tool, applying gentle leverage on the spring bar connecting the strap to the case lugs. With 20mm lugs, it is important to use a correctly sized tool to avoid scratching the red gold case. We recommend using a watchmaker or following the instructions included with every strap purchased from milanostraps.it.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm attachment and standard spring bars is compatible with the Montbrillant RB013067.C896.718P. Milanostraps.it offers handcrafted straps in alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan and rubber, all finished to the standard expected of an 18-carat red gold case.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, frequency of wear, and exposure to moisture or perspiration. A quality alligator strap, kept away from prolonged contact with water and sweat, can last between 2 and 5 years while retaining its aesthetic integrity. Shell cordovan is notably more resistant to deformation over time. All Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
