Strap for Chronomat 44 Stainless Steel / Black - Roman / Bracelet

The Breitling Chronomat B01 44 (ref. AB011011/B956/375A) has a lug width of 22mm. This measurement defines the attachment point between the case and the strap, and determines compatibility with any aftermarket strap.

The most suitable materials for the Chronomat B01 44 are vegetable-tanned Tuscan calfskin for everyday wear, alligator leather for formal occasions, and nylon NATO for a sporting register. The choice depends on context: patinated calfskin is the most versatile option, while black or midnight blue alligator complements the stainless steel case in elegant settings.

The Chronomat B01 44 uses standard 22mm spring bars. To replace the strap, use a spring bar tool to compress each bar in sequence, remove the original strap, and fit the new one. The process requires no specialist skills, though it is advisable to have it carried out by a watchmaker to avoid any damage to the lug finish.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm attachment is technically compatible with the Chronomat B01 44. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather, alligator, NATO and rubber straps specifically sized for 22mm lug watches, ensuring optimal fit and proportions for the 44mm case.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, the tanning method and daily use. A vegetable-tanned Tuscan calfskin strap, kept away from excessive perspiration and water, can last between two and five years while developing a rich, characteristic patina. Milano Straps offers an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
