Strap for Chronomat 44 Stainless Steel / MOP - Roman / Rubber

The lug width of the Breitling Chronomat B01 44 reference AB011011/A691/131S is 22mm. This measurement is taken with a digital calliper positioned between the two lugs at the point where the strap is inserted. It is a standard size offering a wide selection of quality aftermarket straps.

For the Chronomat B01 44, the most suitable materials are vegetable-tanned calfskin, for those seeking a natural patina over time, and matte-finished alligator belly for a more formal register. For sporting or outdoor use, vulcanised rubber or ballistic nylon NATO straps maintain consistency with the model's instrumental vocation. The lug width is 22mm.

The strap on the Chronomat B01 44 is replaced using a springbar tool, a fine-tipped instrument that compresses the spring bars housed within the lugs. Insert the tool laterally inside the lug, compress the bar and slide the strap free. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the steel case: use a soft cloth for protection during the operation.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm attachment width and straight end is compatible with the Chronomat B01 44 AB011011/A691/131S. Milano Straps offers a selection of handcrafted 22mm straps in various materials and finishes, compatible with this reference without any modification to the original lugs.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, care and frequency of use. A quality vegetable-tanned calfskin strap, with daily wear and proper maintenance (kept away from water and excessive perspiration), typically lasts between 2 and 4 years. An alligator strap, owing to the density of its natural fibres, can exceed 5 years. Milano Straps straps are covered by an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
