How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Chronomat B01 42?
A quality leather strap, crafted from vegetable-tanned cowhide or hand-finished alligator, typically lasts between two and five years under regular use. Longevity depends on exposure to perspiration, water, and UV light. Periodic conditioning with a leather-specific cream significantly extends the strap's service life.
