Strap for Turbine XL

The Perrelet Turbine A1050/5 is fitted with 22mm lugs. This dimension is specific to the model and represents the optimal balance between the impressive 48mm case diameter and practical wearability. To verify aftermarket strap compatibility, simply measure the distance between the inner lug shoulders without the case. Correct measurement ensures a seamless installation without forcing.

The Perrelet A1050/5 benefits from straps that respect its technical vocation and substantial case diameter. Vegetable-tanned alligator adds organic refinement, whilst structured English calf emphasises the design's austerity. For those preferring versatility, a high-density polyamide NATO strap or technological rubber celebrates the case's futuristic aesthetics. Your choice should reflect intended use and personal chromatic preference.

Strap replacement on the Turbine A1050/5 is accomplished by extracting the lug spring bars using a specialised tool. It is advisable to consult a professional to avoid unnecessary stress on the titanium-steel case. Atelier Casati Milano offers bespoke fitting services by appointment, guaranteeing precision and assembly care.

Yes, you can absolutely fit a 22mm aftermarket strap to your Perrelet A1050/5. Milano Straps offers a dedicated collection of leather, NATO and rubber straps specifically curated for this lug width. It is essential to select compatible thickness (3.5-5mm) to ensure smooth transitions between case and wrist without mechanical stress.

A leather strap's durability depends on material quality, maintenance and daily use intensity. A high-quality alligator or shell cordovan strap with vegetable tanning can withstand 3-5 years of regular use. English calf is typically more durable (4-6 years). Prolonged exposure to humidity, UV rays and extreme temperatures accelerates ageing. Periodic maintenance with natural products significantly extends strap lifespan.
