FAQ

What is the lug width of the Breguet Classique 5157BB/11/9V6?

The Breguet Classique 5157BB/11/9V6 is fitted with an 18mm lug width. This is the standard size to use when purchasing any aftermarket strap compatible with this reference.

What is the best strap for the Breguet Classique 5157BB/11/9V6?

To respect the identity of the 5157BB, a Louisiana alligator strap with symmetrical belly grain is the most coherent choice: the textured surface complements the dial's guillochage. Alternatively, smooth glazed calf offers absolute sobriety, while vulcanized rubber is suitable for summer daily wear.

How do you change the strap on the Breguet Classique 5157BB/11/9V6?

Strap replacement requires a flat-blade or pointed spring bar tool, inserted into the hole of the spring bar positioned between the lugs. Compress the spring bar, remove the old strap, and insert the new one, allowing the spring bar to snap into place. On a white gold watch, it is recommended to protect the lugs with soft adhesive tape to prevent scratches.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breguet Classique 5157BB/11/9V6?

Yes. The 5157BB uses a standard 18mm attachment with conventional spring bars, making it compatible with a wide range of quality aftermarket straps. On milanostraps.it you will find a specific selection for 18mm lug width, including custom options made by the Casati Milano atelier.

How long does a leather strap last on a Breguet Classique 5157BB/11/9V6?

With daily use, a quality alligator or calf strap has an average lifespan of 18-36 months, varying based on perspiration, humidity exposure, and care in rotating between multiple straps. Casati Milano straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
