Strap for Chronomat 32 Stainless Steel / White - Diamond / Rouleaux

The Breitling Chronomat 32 reference A77310101A3A1 features a lug width of 16mm. This measurement should be taken with a vernier calliper placed between the two lugs at their deepest point. Respecting this specification is essential to ensure correct strap fitting and reliable spring bar retention.

The most suitable straps for the Chronomat 32 A77310101A3A1 are vegetable-tanned alligator (for formal wear), smooth box-calf leather (for refined daily use) and moulded rubber (for active use). The 16mm lug width allows for high-precision artisanal work. A polished steel deployant clasp proportioned at 14mm best complements the integrated case architecture.

To replace the strap on the Chronomat 32, a spring bar tool is required. The integrated lugs of the 32mm case require spring bars of appropriate diameter and tensile strength. Always work on a soft surface to protect the polished case surfaces. If in doubt, entrust the operation to a qualified watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.
