Breguet
Classique 8788BR/12/986/DD00— lug 18mm

The Breguet Classique 8788BR/12/986/DD00 is fitted with an 18mm lug width. This measurement is consistent with the 36mm case diameter and defines the compatible strap width at the case attachment points.

For this 18k rose gold Classique, an alligator strap with polished or matte finish is the most coherent choice with the watch's aesthetic code. Box-calf leather is the ideal alternative for those seeking a patina that evolves over time. Both materials are available in the 18mm strap collection at milanostraps.it.

The strap is removed using a fine-tipped spring bar tool, inserting it into the lateral hole of the spring bar that holds the strap to the case lugs. It is not recommended to perform this operation without the proper tool to avoid scratches on the rose gold case. If in doubt, the operation can be performed by a watchmaker or at the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes. Any 18mm strap with standard spring bars is compatible with the Breguet Classique 8788BR/12/986/DD00. milanostraps.it offers a selection of 18mm artisanal straps in various materials and colors, or you can order a custom bespoke strap through the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and daily use. High-quality alligator, if properly cared for and avoiding prolonged exposure to water and sweat, lasts on average 2 to 4 years with daily use. Box-calf leather has a similar lifespan but develops a characteristic patina that many collectors appreciate. Casati Milano straps are guaranteed for 18 months against manufacturing defects.
