Breguet
Classique Complications 7637BR/2N/9ZU— lug 18mm

The Breguet Classique Complications 7637BR/2N/9ZU is fitted with 18 mm lugs. This measurement should be taken with a digital caliper in the narrowest area between the two lugs, where they contact the case. The measurement at the keeper is generally 16 mm, but it is advisable to verify it on the original strap before ordering a replacement.

For the rose gold case and ivory guilloché dial of the 7637BR/2N/9ZU, the most suitable strap is alligator crocodile with a polished finish in bordeaux, cognac or tobacco tones. Semi-gloss box calf is an excellent alternative for a more contemporary look. Both materials harmonize with Breguet's haute horlogerie aesthetic without overwhelming it.

Strap replacement requires a dedicated springbar tool to remove the spring bars that secure the strap to the lugs. On a watch of this complexity and value, it is recommended to entrust the procedure to a watchmaker or specialized atelier such as Casati Milano, to avoid scratches on the rose gold case during the procedure.

Yes, any strap with an 18 mm lug width is technically compatible with the Breguet 7637BR/2N/9ZU. Milano Straps offers a selection of artisanal 18mm straps in leather, alligator and other materials, crafted to the same quality standards required by a timepiece in this category. Casati Milano also produces custom straps with personal leather selection.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning, maintenance, and intensity of use. A high-quality alligator or calf strap, kept away from excessive moisture and sweat, can last 2 to 5 years while maintaining an optimal appearance. The patina that develops over time on quality leather is considered an aesthetic merit, not a defect. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on manufacturing defects.
