Strap for Turbine Yacht

The lug width of the Perrelet Turbine A1089/1 is 20 millimetres. This measurement is critical for strap selection: an 18mm or 22mm strap will not fit correctly to the case lugs, creating dangerous play. Verify the measurement by inserting a rigid ruler between the two parallel case lugs.

We recommend high-quality alligator for formal elegance, vegetable-tanned calf for natural patination, ballistic nylon NATO for casual versatility, or FKM rubber for water resistance and quick-change convenience. Each material offers distinct compromises: alligator excels in aesthetic longevity, calf in visual evolution, NATO in practicality, rubber in climatic functionality.

Strap change requires removal of original lugs using a dedicated spring bar tool: insert the bifid tip into the lateral slot of the lug, push inward to release the pin. Remove the old strap, insert the new one by aligning the pin to the case lugs, then release. We recommend a quick-change deployante clasp for tool-free strap exchange.

Yes, the Turbine A1089/1 is fully compatible with quality 20mm aftermarket straps. Ensure the strap is specifically packaged for 20mm lug width, not 18mm or 22mm. Milanostraps.it offers an extensive selection of alligator, calf, NATO, and rubber in this measurement.

An authentic leather strap (alligator or calf) typically lasts 3–5 years in intermittent daily use, up to 10 years if rotated with other straps. Durability depends on tannage, climate, and frequency of wear. Vegetable-tanned leather patinates naturally; chrome-tanned leather maintains more consistent rigidity. NATO and rubber last 5–7 years with frequent rotation.
