Strap for Premier Automatic 40 Stainless Steel / Anthracite / Nubuck Brown / Folding

The lug width of the Breitling Premier A37340351B1X1 is 20 mm. This measurement should be taken internally between the two lugs using a digital calliper, at rest and without applying pressure to the steel, to ensure correct compatibility with any aftermarket strap.

For the Premier A37340351B1X1 in brushed stainless steel, the most suitable materials are square-scaled alligator for formal settings, shell cordovan for intensive daily wear that develops a natural patina over time, and vegetable-tanned calf leather for a balance between elegance and durability. A brushed steel deployant clasp completes the pairing both functionally and aesthetically.

To replace the strap on the Breitling Premier A37340351B1X1, use a fine-tipped or lever-style spring bar tool, inserting it into the spring bar slot on the inner side of the lug. Compress the spring bar, remove the strap, and insert the new one by reversing the process. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the brushed case.

Yes, any strap with a 20 mm lug width is technically compatible with the Breitling Premier A37340351B1X1, provided the spring bar is standard gauge (1.5 mm diameter). On milanostraps.it you will find a range of handcrafted 20 mm straps in various materials and finishes, compatible with this reference and made to order by Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and frequency of use. A quality shell cordovan or alligator strap with vegetable tanning and hand-burnished edges can last between 3 and 7 years with moderate daily wear. Calf leather has a shorter average life of 1 to 3 years. Factors such as perspiration, water exposure and storage conditions significantly affect longevity. Casati Milano offers an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
