Made to Measure

The strap for this watch is made to measure

On the Breitling Windrider the bracelet is drawn as part of the case: no catalogue strap will fit. In the atelier we take the measurements on the watch itself and build the strap on the piece — that is the work of Casati Milano.

FAQ

How do I change the strap on the Breitling Windrider A7134012.A679?

Strap replacement is carried out using a fine-tipped spring bar tool to compress and release the spring bar seated within each lug. Work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the case. If the watch was originally fitted with an integrated bracelet, verify the lug geometry before fitting an aftermarket strap: certain Windrider configurations feature curved lugs that require pre-curved or bespoke-fitted straps for a flush fit.

How long does a leather strap last on the Breitling Windrider A7134012.A679?

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the hide type, frequency of use, and maintenance routine. A vegetable-tanned calfskin strap, with regular use and proper care (conditioning cream every 2–3 months, kept away from prolonged water exposure), will typically last 2–4 years before showing significant wear. Shell cordovan and vegetable-tanned alligator are notably more durable and can exceed 4–5 years with appropriate maintenance. The patina that develops over time is generally regarded as a mark of quality rather than deterioration.
