Strap for Chronomat 41

The lug width of the Breitling Chronomat B01 41 (ref. AB014012BA52428X) is 22mm. This measurement is taken with a digital calliper at the inner point between the two lugs where the strap inserts. It is a standard size that ensures broad compatibility with quality aftermarket straps.

The most suitable materials for the Chronomat B01 41 are: crocodile alligator with a crossed grain pattern for formal or business settings, vegetable-tanned calf leather for everyday casual use, vulcanised rubber for sport or outdoor activities, and ballistic nylon NATO to reference the model's aeronautical heritage. The choice depends on intended use and the dial fitted.

To replace the strap on the Chronomat B01 41 you will need a fine-tipped spring bar tool. Insert the tip between the lug and the strap, compress the spring bar and slide the strap out. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the steel lugs. Alternatively, Casati Milano offers professional fitting at the atelier by appointment.

Yes. The Chronomat B01 41 features straight 22mm lugs, a width broadly supported by aftermarket strap makers. Milano Straps offers a selection of 22mm straps in alligator, calf leather and other materials, handcrafted by Casati Milano and fully compatible with this reference without requiring any adapters.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material, usage and maintenance. A quality handcrafted alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather strap, worn daily with proper care (avoiding prolonged exposure to water and perspiration, conditioning the leather regularly), can last between 2 and 5 years. Casati Milano provides an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
