Strap for Turbine

The lug width of the Perrelet Turbine A1047/4 is 20mm. This measurement is critical for selecting compatible straps and represents the internal distance between the two pins that attach the strap to the case. A strap with non-matching lug width will result in mounting difficulties and potential damage to the lugs.

For the Turbine A1047/4, we recommend straps in vegetable-tanned alligator (brown or black), vegetable-tanned calf leather with natural patina, shell cordovan, or ballistic nylon NATO 20mm for versatility. The choice depends on wear context: leather straps enhance the elegant character, whilst NATO and rubber options emphasise the sporty dynamic. All must conform to the 20mm lug width specification.

Use a professional spring bar removal tool. Position the tool in the groove of the spring bar and push towards the centre until the pin releases. Remove the old strap and insert the new one by aligning the holes with the pins. For the Turbine A1047/4, we recommend consulting a certified watchmaker or Atelier Casati Milano to ensure maximum mounting precision.

Yes, provided the strap is compatible with 20mm lug width. Verify that the internal width between the holes corresponds exactly to 20mm. The finest aftermarket straps are crafted from premium leather with vegetable tanning or integrated deployante buckles. Ensure the strap thickness is proportionate to the 44mm case diameter.

A high-quality leather strap with vegetable tanning has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with daily wear. Longevity depends on humidity, frequency of use, and maintenance practices. An alligator or shell cordovan strap, thanks to denser fibres, can last 7-10 years. Rotating between multiple straps significantly extends the useful life of each one.
