How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Premier A45340241B1X3?
The longevity of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning process, daily use habits and maintenance. A high-grade vegetable-tanned calf or alligator strap, rotated with at least one other strap and kept away from prolonged moisture exposure, will retain its aesthetic and structural integrity for 3–5 years. Shell cordovan, owing to its dense fibrous structure, can last considerably longer.
