Breguet
Tradition 7597BB/GY/9WU— lug 18mm

The Breguet Tradition 7597BB/GY/9WU is fitted with an 18 mm lug width. This measurement is taken at the internal space between the two lugs where the strap attaches to the case, and it is the standard dimension to specify when ordering a replacement or custom strap.

For a 950 platinum case with a gray dial and skeletonized movement, slate gray or midnight blue belly-cut alligator is the most aesthetically coherent choice. Tobacco brown smooth calf leather is a classic alternative, while an anthracite gray nylon NATO is suitable for more casual contexts without compromising the watch's dignity.

The strap is replaced using a watchmaker's spring bar tool: compress the spring on both sides of the lug and slide the strap out of the case attachment point. On a platinum watch of this value, it is advisable to entrust the work to an experienced watchmaker or specialized atelier to avoid scratching the surfaces or lugs.

Yes. The 18 mm lug width is a standard measurement in the dress watch segment, and on milanostraps.it you will find a selection of artisanal 18mm compatible straps in alligator, calf, NATO, and rubber. For a completely customized solution, the Casati Milano atelier creates bespoke straps by selecting leather, color, stitching, and buckle tailored to this model.

Durability depends on the material and daily use. A quality alligator strap, properly maintained and kept away from prolonged moisture, retains its shape and patina for 3-5 years with regular wear. Casati Milano artisanal straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects and are made with selected leathers to ensure maximum longevity.
