Strap for Turbine Skeleton

The Perrelet Turbine A1082/1A features a lug width of 20mm, the standard space between the case lugs where the strap is attached. This width is compatible with a broad range of aftermarket straps in leather, textile, and rubber.

For the Turbine A1082/1A, we recommend vegetable-tanned alligator or calf leather straps, which enhance the technical character of the movement. Alternatively, NATO or medical-grade rubber straps offer sportive versatility whilst maintaining the aesthetic dignity of the 44mm stainless steel case.

To replace the strap, remove the spring bars positioned laterally at the lugs. Using a dedicated tool or small lever, gently press towards the case centre to release the pin and slide out the old strap; insert the new strap aligning the holes and reposition the pin until it clicks into place.

Absolutely. The Perrelet Turbine A1082/1A with 20mm lug width is fully compatible with artisanal aftermarket straps from any specialised manufacturer. Technical compatibility is guaranteed by the standard lug width; choose based on aesthetic preference and material.

A quality leather strap with vegetable tanning lasts approximately 2–4 years in daily use, developing a natural patina that increases aesthetic appeal over time. Lifespan depends on humidity exposure, replacement frequency, and care; rubber or NATO textile straps offer greater longevity in high-stress mechanical environments.
