What I'm asked about the Bremont America's Cup AC-2
What strap size does the Bremont America's Cup AC-2 take?
The Bremont America's Cup AC-2 needs 22 mm between the lugs, usually 18 or 20 mm at the buckle. It's the size I've been fitting on it for years.
Can the strap on the Bremont America's Cup AC-2 be changed?
Yes. It has spring bars between the lugs: with the right tool the strap comes off in a minute. If you'd rather not risk a scratch, I do it in the workshop.
Can I put a leather strap on the Bremont America's Cup AC-2?
Yes, in 22 mm leather. On a 43 mm case a calf strap works every day; if you want something more, alligator.

Frequently asked questions
Is an aftermarket strap compatible with the Bremont AC-2?
Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is fully compatible with the AC-2. Milano Straps offers an extensive collection in this width, spanning premium leathers to synthetic and textile materials. Confirm that the lug depth aligns with the watch's pins (approximately 2.5–3mm). Consult the technical specifications of your chosen strap to verify compatibility.
What is the lifespan of a leather strap on the Bremont AC-2?
Longevity depends on usage intensity and tanning method. A vegetable-tanned calf leather strap, with proper care, may endure 5–8 years or longer, developing a patina that enhances aesthetic value. Alligator, owing to skin structure, typically lasts longer: 8–12 years with regular use are realistic. Prolonged exposure to moisture and heat accelerates ageing; dry the strap after water contact and store in a temperate environment.
