Breguet
Tradition 7027BR/R9/9V6— lug 18mm

The Breguet Tradition 7027BR/R9/9V6 is equipped with an 18 mm lug width. This measurement is taken with a caliper positioned on the inner part of the case lugs, where the strap is inserted directly. All standard 18 mm straps are compatible without adapters.

For this rose gold reference with a skeletonized movement, an alligator strap in Mississippiensis cognac, burgundy, or dark brown tones represents the most aesthetically coherent pairing. The reptile grain dialogues with the guillochéd dial and the natural patina that develops over time adds character. Alternatively, box-grain calfskin in midnight blue or slate gray offers a more discreet appearance under the cuff.

Strap replacement requires a fine-pointed springbar tool to remove the spring bars from the lugs. The lugs on the Tradition 7027 are straight and accessible, so the operation is feasible independently with the proper tools. To avoid scratches on the rose gold, it is advisable to protect the case with Teflon tape during the procedure or entrust the change to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes. Any aftermarket 18 mm strap with straight horns is compatible with the Breguet Tradition 7027BR/R9/9V6. Milano Straps offers a selection of artisanal straps in alligator, calfskin and other materials specifically available for the 18 mm lug width, viewable directly online or customizable through the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, frequency of use, and exposure to sweat and humidity. A quality alligator strap, with alternating use and proper maintenance, has an average lifespan of 2 to 4 years. Box-grain calfskin tends to last slightly less under intensive use conditions. Milano Straps guarantees its 18 mm straps for 18 months against manufacturing defects.
