Strap for Turbine Yacht

The Perrelet Turbine A1088/1 features a lug width of 20mm. This dimension is standard amongst contemporary sports watches and is essential to ensure mechanical compatibility with your chosen strap. Any variation, even minimal (19mm or 21mm), would result in incompatibility.

For the Turbine A1088/1, we recommend materials that emphasise the contrast between the brushed steel case and the strap construction. A Louisiana alligator with vegetable tanning in whiskey tone creates aesthetic harmony, whilst calf leather with vintage patina offers chromatic evolution over time. For sport-oriented approaches, a hybrid-weave NATO or FKM rubber delivers functionality without compromise.

The Turbine A1088/1 is fitted with standard lugs using an integrated attachment system. To replace the strap, use a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) to gently remove the internal retaining spring from the lug. Extract the old strap and insert the new one, ensuring the spring snaps correctly into the opposing slots.

Yes, provided the strap is compatible with the 20mm lug width. Quality aftermarket straps—leather, NATO, rubber—function perfectly on the Turbine A1088/1 case. The critical point is verifying that the strap width corresponds exactly to the 20mm lugs, preventing unwanted lateral movement.

Leather strap longevity depends on usage frequency, climatic conditions, and maintenance. On a sports watch such as the Turbine A1088/1, subject to daily mechanical stress, a superior-quality leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf) can maintain structural integrity for 3-5 years. Natural wear and patination are inherent to the material's character.
