Strap for Chronomat B01 42 NFL Jacksonville Jaguars / Rouleaux

The lug width of the Breitling Chronomat B01 42, reference AB01342B1L3A1, is 22mm. This measurement is taken internally between the two lugs at their narrowest point, closest to the case. Any strap with a 22mm attachment width is compatible with this reference.

For the steel Chronomat B01 42, the most appropriate straps are alligator for formal occasions, vegetable-tanned calf leather for everyday versatility, and vulcanised rubber for intensive sporting use. A perforated rally-style leather strap is particularly consistent with the Chronomat's motorsport heritage. The colour choice should be guided by the dial colour.

To replace the strap on the Chronomat B01 42, use a fine-tipped springbar tool. Insert the tool into the lug hole, compress the springbar and slide the strap free. Care must be taken to avoid scratching the case or lugs. If in doubt, it is advisable to consult a watchmaker or a specialist atelier.
