Strap for MB II Orange White Dial

The Bremont Martin-Baker MBIIOr-WH features a lug width of 22mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two lateral lugs of the case and is critical for aftermarket strap compatibility. Bremont's manufacturing tolerance is ±0.3mm, so any 22mm strap will fit with precise geometry. Always verify the measurement by observing the case lugs directly before purchasing a replacement strap.

For the MBIIOr-WH, we recommend three options based on intended use: (1) Nile alligator with vegetable tanning for elegance and durability—the compact texture resists frequent movement and develops a refined patina. (2) Shell cordovan with vegetable tanning for British heritage—develops a caramel-mahogany colour over time. (3) NATO nylon 2-ply or FKM rubber for humid environments—offers durability without maintenance. Your choice depends on usage context and personal aesthetic preferences.

To change the strap on the Martin-Baker MBIIOr-WH: (1) Place the watch on a soft pad. (2) Identify the two lateral lug pins. (3) Use a spring bar tool to gently lever and lower the pin toward the dial, freeing the strap end. (4) Remove the strap completely. (5) Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the pins, then snap the pins into position. If you do not possess a spring bar tool, we recommend consulting an expert to avoid case damage.

Yes, the Bremont Martin-Baker MBIIOr-WH is fully compatible with all aftermarket 22mm straps regardless of material or manufacture. Milano Straps offers a complete selection of artisanal straps in alligator, calf, shell cordovan, NATO, and rubber—all tested for this lug width. Straps are ready to ship and customisable according to your colour and construction preferences. Compatibility is guaranteed by standardised lug width.

A leather strap's lifespan (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) depends on usage and maintenance. With moderate daily wear (4–5 days weekly), an artisanal quality leather strap has an average life of 3–4 years before replacement is needed. Factors influencing durability: perspiration exposure (accelerates wear), humidity, direct sunlight, and temperature. To maximise longevity: clean periodically with a soft damp cloth, avoid prolonged water exposure, and condition occasionally with leather-specific oil. Shell cordovan straps with vegetable tanning typically last longer (4–5 years) than smooth calf leather (3–4 years) due to their robust fibre structure. NATO or FKM rubber straps require minimal maintenance and last 5+ years.
