Strap for Turbine XL

The Perrelet Turbine A1051/1 features a lug width of 20mm, measured between the inner shoulders of the lug pins. This measurement is essential for selecting a compatible strap and ensuring a perfect fit with the case.

The Turbine pairs beautifully with alligator straps in tobacco or medium brown tones, which enhance the satin-finished steel case. For a more sporting approach, an anthracite NATO is excellent. For those desiring natural patina development over time, we recommend vegetable-tanned leather in chestnut. The choice depends on intended use and wearing context.

The A1051/1 features an integrated, non-standard lug. To change the strap, the lateral lug pins must be removed using a specialised tool (lug remover) or by consulting a competent atelier such as Casati Milano. The procedure requires care to avoid case damage.

Yes, quality aftermarket straps are fully compatible provided they respect the 20mm lug width. Milano Straps offers a certified collection of 20mm straps tested for the Turbine, guaranteeing correct fitting and the absence of unsightly lateral gaps.

A quality leather strap, exposed to moderate-to-intensive use, maintains structural integrity for 3-5 years. With vegetable tanning, it develops a fascinating patina over time. Moisture and sun exposure accelerate ageing. We recommend rotating with other straps to extend durability and allow proper air-drying.
