Avenger A1733010.G697.131S— lug 22mm

The lug width of the Breitling Avenger A1733010.G697.131S is 22mm. This measurement is taken with a vernier calliper at the attachment point between the two lugs, where the strap inserts into the case. Respecting this dimension is essential to ensure correct fitment and a secure hold.

For the Breitling Avenger A1733010.G697.131S, the most suitable materials are vulcanised rubber for sport and diving use, vegetable-tanned alligator for formal occasions, and ballistic nylon NATO straps for operational use. The choice depends on the intended context: each material interacts differently with the 45.40mm stainless steel case.

The strap is replaced using a fine-tipped spring bar tool inserted into the side hole of the lug to compress the internal spring of the bar. It is advisable to use a watchmaker's mat to avoid scratching the case. With a 22mm lug width, standard 1.5mm diameter spring bars are compatible with most aftermarket straps.

Yes. All straps with a 22mm lug width and straight ends are technically compatible with the Avenger. Milanostraps.it offers a selection of handcrafted straps in alligator, calfskin and rubber, specifically available in 22mm and finished to complement the robust, voluminous case of this model.

Longevity depends on leather quality and intensity of use. A handcrafted vegetable-tanned alligator strap, with moderate daily wear and proper care — avoiding prolonged contact with water and perspiration — typically lasts between 2 and 4 years. Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
