FAQ

What is the lug width of the Breguet Classique 5930BB/12/986?

The Breguet Classique 5930BB/12/986 is fitted with a 20mm lug width. This measurement should be taken internally between the case lugs using a caliper to ensure proper fitment of a replacement strap.

What is the best strap for the Breguet Classique 5930BB/12/986?

For the 5930BB/12/986 in yellow gold, the most suitable strap is mississippi alligator or hornback — in black, midnight blue, or burgundy — with a matching yellow gold buckle.

How do you change the strap on the Breguet Classique 5930BB/12/986?

How long does a leather strap last on a Breguet Classique 5930BB/12/986?
