FAQ

What is the exact lug width of the Perrelet Turbine A1086/1A?

The Perrelet Turbine A1086/1A features an integrated lug width of 20mm. This measurement is constant across the case and must be strictly observed when selecting any aftermarket strap. Correct measurement is performed by positioning a digital calliper perpendicularly to the internal surface of the lug without applying pressure.

What is the most suitable strap for the Perrelet Turbine A1086/1A?

For a technical watch like the Turbine A1086/1A, alligator leather represents the reference choice: its natural geometric texture dialogues perfectly with the dynamism of the rotating turbine blades. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers elegance and softness, whilst structured FKM rubber guarantees practicality and resistance.

How do I change the strap on a Perrelet Turbine A1086/1A?

The Turbine A1086/1A features an integrated lug, so strap replacement occurs via the lateral lugs of the case. Extract the spring bar using a dedicated tool, remove the old strap and insert the new one by gently levering. Ensure the new strap has a 20mm lug width and that the lugs are perfectly aligned.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Perrelet A1086/1A?

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Perrelet Turbine A1086/1A. Milanostraps.it offers a specialised collection of 20mm straps in alligator, calf, NATO and rubber, all verified for compatibility and construction quality.

How long does a leather strap last on a watch like the Turbine A1086/1A?

Durability depends on usage intensity and leather type. A high-quality artisanal alligator or calf strap typically lasts 2-4 years with regular daily use. Prolonged exposure to humidity, perspiration or thermal variation accelerates ageing. FKM rubber, conversely, guarantees greater longevity (4-6 years), whilst polyamide NATO straps can last over 5 years thanks to fabric resistance.
