Strap for Génie 02 Air

The lug width of the Breva Génie 02 genie-02-air is 20 millimetres. This dimension is measured between the two pins on which the strap is attached. Always verify this measurement before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect compatibility with the titanium lugs.

The best strap depends on intended use. For formal and professional contexts, an alligator or calf leather in dark tones (black, dark brown) is ideal. For sport or adventure use, a NATO in nylon or canvas offers practicality. For wet environments, technical FKM rubber ensures maximum reliability. All available in 20mm width at Milano Straps.

To change the strap you will need a spring bar remover tool, available inexpensively. Insert the flat tip of the tool into the slot beside the pin, push gently to release the internal spring, then extract the pin. Repeat from the other side. Insert the pins of the new strap into the same housings and ensure the spring clicks correctly. Verify that the strap is 20mm width to avoid damaging the lugs.

Any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Breva Génie 02 genie-02-air, provided it has a standard spring bar. Milano Straps offers a specialised collection of 20mm straps in leather, NATO and rubber, with artisanal finishes and certified materials. We recommend always verifying the technical specifications of the attachment.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material, tanning method and usage. A high-quality alligator or calf leather strap can last 3–5 years with moderate daily wear, up to 7–10 years with proper care. Vegetable-tanned leather tends to age better, developing natural patina. Factors such as humidity, perspiration and direct sunlight exposure accelerate wear. Store the strap away from direct light and clean it regularly to significantly extend its lifespan.
