Breguet
Marine 5517BR/12/RZ0— lug 20mm

The Breguet Marine 5517BR/12/RZ0 is fitted with a 20mm lug width. This is the internal measurement between the two lugs on the case, and is the key parameter for selecting a compatible strap. All 20mm straps from milanostraps.it will fit this reference perfectly.

For the 5517BR/12/RZ0 in rose gold, polished alligator leather in tobacco brown or navy blue is the most cohesive choice for a watch of this caliber. Alternatively, hand-patina smooth calfskin in burgundy or a vulcanized rubber strap for sports wear. A rose gold deployant clasp completes the pairing impeccably.

The strap on the Breguet Marine 5517BR/12/RZ0 is replaced by removing the springbars using a dedicated springbar tool. This is a straightforward operation requiring a fine-tipped tool to press the internal spring mechanism at the lugs. It is recommended to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the rose gold case. Alternatively, a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier can perform the replacement during bespoke service.

Yes. Any strap with a 20mm lug width is technically compatible with the Breguet Marine 5517BR/12/RZ0, provided that standard springbars are included or available separately. milanostraps.it offers a selection of handcrafted aftermarket straps in alligator, calfskin, NATO, and rubber, made with materials and finishes befitting this timepiece. The Casati Milano atelier also produces bespoke custom straps for this specific reference.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on leather quality, craftsmanship, and daily wear. A high-quality handcrafted strap in alligator or calfskin, with proper care — avoiding excessive water and perspiration, occasionally conditioning with fine leather conditioner — can last 2 to 5 years with regular use. Straps produced by Casati Milano are guaranteed for 18 months against manufacturing defects.
