Strap for Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph 43 Stainless Steel / Silver / Brown Croco

The Breitling AVI AB01171A1G1P1 has a lug width of 23mm. This is a non-standard measurement, deliberately chosen by Breitling to distinguish this model from conventional production. It is not compatible with 22mm or 24mm straps: only straps specifically cut to 23mm should be used.

Depending on intended use and style: a vegetable-tanned calf leather strap with a matte finish is the most versatile option and develops a natural patina over time. Flat-belly Mississippi alligator suits formal occasions. A heavy-weave nylon NATO references the aeronautical aesthetics of the 1950s. Vulcanised rubber is recommended for sport or intensive daily use.

The lugs of the Breitling AVI AB01171A1G1P1 accept standard spring bars. To replace the strap, use a fine-tipped springbar tool inserted into the lug hole to compress and release the bar. Work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the case. The lug width to observe is 23mm.
