The lug width of the Breitling Chronomat B01 42 AB01342B1L4S1 is 22mm. This measurement is taken internally between the two case lugs at the point where the strap is fitted. Any 22mm strap with a standard 20mm tail is compatible with this reference.
What is the best strap for the Breitling Chronomat B01 42?
The most suitable options for the Chronomat B01 42 are a vegetable-tanned calfskin strap with smooth grain for everyday versatility, a matte alligator leather strap for formal occasions, and a ballistic nylon NATO or vulcanised rubber strap for sporting use. A stainless steel deployant clasp is recommended to maximise strap longevity and wrist security.
How do you change the strap on a Breitling Chronomat B01 42?
The strap on the Chronomat B01 42 is replaced using a fine-tipped springbar tool: compress the two springbars securing the strap to the lugs and slide the strap free.
