FAQ

What is the lug width of the Perrelet Turbine A1089/2?

The lug width of the Perrelet Turbine A1089/2 measures 22 millimetres. This dimension refers to the distance between the inner attachment pins. To verify compatibility, measure with a digital calliper between the two pins: the result must match exactly 22mm.

Which strap pairs best with the Perrelet Turbine A1089/2?

For the Turbine A1089/2, we recommend straps in alligator or vegetable-tanned leather in deep brown, black, or cognac tones. These materials dialogue elegantly with the stainless steel case and the sophistication of the visible kinetic movement. For sportier contexts, a premium silicone rubber maintains aesthetic coherence without durability compromises.

How do you change the strap on a Perrelet Turbine A1089/2?

Strap replacement uses spring bars (splined pins) situated beneath the lugs. With a dedicated spring bar tool, push gently downward to compress the spring, extracting the old strap end. Insert the new strap lug and release the spring: it will snap into its natural position. Perform with care to avoid scratching the case.

Is a 22mm aftermarket strap compatible with the Perrelet Turbine A1089/2?

Yes, any strap with a 22-millimetre lug width is compatible with the Turbine A1089/2, regardless of manufacturer. It is essential to verify that measurement is precise: even 0.5mm error can cause incompatibility. Bespoke artisanal straps offer maximum assurance of perfect fit and longevity.

How long does a leather strap last on a Perrelet Turbine A1089/2?

A premium-quality leather strap (alligator, aged calf, shell cordovan) can endure 3–5 years with routine care and moderate wear. Lifespan depends on frequency of use, climatic conditions, and preventive maintenance. A sportive silicone rubber strap maintains structural integrity for 5–7 years. A natural patina emerges over time, particularly with vegetable-tanned leathers, transforming initial appearance without compromising functionality.
