The Port-Louis and Larmor-Plage Seaqual canvas bracelets are very similar and share the following characteristics:

• Seaqual fabric made from recycled marine plastic waste
• Microfiber lining
• Quick-release pumps for easy assembly
• Water resistance (we recommend rinsing the bracelet with clean water after use)
• 100% French manufacturing

The main difference between the two models lies in the tricolour bridle stitch located at the lugs , present on the Port-Louis model and absent on the Larmor-Plage .

You can send us a photo of your watch by email or contact us via the chat on our website. We'd be happy to advise you on choosing the most suitable color.

The Port-Louis and Larmor-Plage models are available in many colours, and it is not uncommon for several combinations to work perfectly depending on the season or your style.

Absolutely. Our bracelets are manufactured entirely in France , from start to finish.

• Cutting the Seaqual canvas, reinforcements and lining
• Sewing
• Attaching the bridle stitch
• Hot iron markings

Choosing an Avel & Men bracelet means supporting French craftsmanship and regional know-how.

Our bracelets are not strictly waterproof, as water can penetrate the fabric.

However, the Seaqual canvas models ( Port-Louis , Larmor-Plage ) as well as our special SNSM PORSPODER model have microfiber linings .

This microfiber, which is very comfortable and visually similar to leather, easily withstands seawater.

After swimming in a pool or the sea, we recommend rinsing the bracelet with clean water and letting it dry away from the sun .

The vast majority of watches use a classic spring bar system to secure the strap. Therefore, in most cases, it is possible to replace your current strap with an Avel & Men strap.

You simply need to measure the width between the lugs of your watch.

If you have any doubts, please don't hesitate to send us an email with a photo of your watch and as much information as possible (brand, model number, year of purchase). We'll be happy to help.
