FAQ
What is the lug width of the Breitling Colt A1731311.BE90.225S?
The Breitling Colt A1731311.BE90.225S has a lug width of 20mm. This measurement should be taken with a calliper between the two lugs at the lower end of the case, where the strap attaches. The buckle end width typically tapers to between 16mm and 18mm depending on the strap model selected.
What is the best strap for the Breitling Colt A1731311.BE90.225S?
For the Colt A1731311.BE90.225S with its 41mm stainless steel case, a vegetable-tanned alligator or grain calf leather strap best complements the watch's technical aesthetic. For sporting use, vulcanised rubber or ballistic nylon NATO straps are preferable for durability and comfort. A stainless steel deployant clasp rounds off the pairing with material consistency.
How do you change the strap on a Breitling Colt A1731311.BE90.225S?
To replace the strap on the Colt A1731311.BE90.225S, use a spring bar tool or a fine flat-head screwdriver to remove the spring bars securing the strap to the lugs. Care must be taken to avoid scratching the stainless steel case. If in doubt, it is advisable to consult a watchmaker or visit the Casati Milano atelier.
Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Colt A1731311.BE90.225S?

How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Colt A1731311.BE90.225S?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, the tanning method and daily wear conditions. A high-quality vegetable-tanned alligator or shell cordovan strap can last between three and seven years with regular maintenance — periodic cleaning and application of a leather conditioner. Prolonged exposure to water and perspiration significantly reduces service life; rubber or NATO straps are recommended for intensive use.
