FAQ
What is the lug width of the Breguet Classique 5178BB/29/9V6/D000?
The Breguet Classique 5178BB/29/9V6/D000 is fitted with an 18mm lug width. This measurement should be specified when purchasing any replacement strap compatible with this reference.
What is the best strap for the Breguet Classique 5178BB/29/9V6/D000?
For the white gold case of the Classique 5178, a black or midnight blue alligator lisse strap represents the most coherent choice with the house's aesthetic DNA. Alternatively, tobacco brown box-grain calf develops an authentic patina that balances the chromatic neutrality of the white gold. All materials should have contained thickness to respect the refined profile of the case.
How do you change the strap on the Breguet Classique 5178BB/29/9V6/D000?
The strap is removed using a fine-tipped spring bar tool, gently leveraging the spring bar housed in the lugs. The lugs on the Classique 5178 are curved and require care to avoid scratching the white gold case. It is advisable to work on a soft surface and, if in doubt, consult a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.
Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breguet Classique 5178BB/29/9V6/D000?

Milano Straps offers a selection of 18mm straps in various materials and finishes, including bespoke artisanal models crafted by the Casati Milano atelier with carefully selected leathers.
What is the lifespan of a leather strap on a Breguet Classique 5178BB/29/9V6/D000?
