FAQ

What is the lug width of the Perrelet Turbine A2053/A?

The Perrelet Turbine A2053/A features a 22-millimetre lug width. This measurement is integrated directly into the stainless steel case and represents the precise spacing between the two lugs where the strap seats. It is essential to verify millimetre-level compatibility before purchase to ensure perfect fit.

Which strap is best suited for the Perrelet Turbine A2053/A?

For the Turbine A2053/A, we recommend a high-quality alligator strap, as it reflects the Swiss elegance of the case and the sophistication of the internal turbine mechanism. However, shell cordovan will age magnificently over time, whilst a NATO nylon strap provides sporting versatility. The choice depends on intended usage and personal aesthetic preference.

How do I change the strap on a Perrelet Turbine A2053/A?

The change requires a spring bar tool (also known as a strap removal tool). Position the tool beneath the elastic ring attaching the strap to the lug, lever gently to release one end, then the other. Always support the case with your other hand to avoid scratching the steel. If uncertain, Casati Milano offers complimentary guidance by appointment.

Is an aftermarket strap compatible with the Perrelet Turbine A2053/A?

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 22 millimetres. Many artisanal Italian straps are available bespoke for this width. We recommend always verifying the technical specification with the supplier and opting for certified quality leathers (alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf) to maintain the aesthetic integrity of the Swiss timepiece.

How long does a leather strap last on the Perrelet Turbine A2053/A?

Durability depends on material and usage frequency. An alligator or shell cordovan strap with vegetable tanning, if properly maintained and worn regularly, typically lasts 4–6 years before requiring restoration. Rubber resists degradation for even longer (7–10 years), whilst synthetic NATO fabric can exceed 10 years. The critical factor is protecting the strap from prolonged direct UV exposure and excessive humidity.
