Strap for Chronomat 44 Stainless Steel / Rose Gold / Diamond / Pearl Roman / Bracelet

The lug width of the Breitling Chronomat B01 44 CB011053.A693.375C is 22 mm. This dimension is consistent between the upper and lower lugs, simplifying the selection of any compatible 22 mm aftermarket strap.

For the rose gold and mother-of-pearl variant, the most suitable materials are hornback alligator in bordeaux or plum, vegetable-tanned calf leather in cognac, and bordeaux shell cordovan. These choices complement the warm tones of the rose gold and engage with the iridescence of the dial. A rose gold deployant clasp completes the pairing in a manner consistent with the case materials.

The strap is removed using a fine-tipped springbar tool, applying leverage to the spring bars housed in the 22 mm lugs. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to protect the bezel and case. To fit the new strap, insert one spring bar into the strap's eyelet, then compress it to seat it in the opposite lug. No work on screws or the case back is required.

Yes. Any 22 mm strap with standard spring bar fitting is compatible with this reference. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted straps in alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan, NATO, and rubber specifically listed for the 22 mm lug width, with finishes and colours selected to complement the two-tone rose gold and steel case.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality, frequency of use, and exposure to perspiration and moisture. A high-quality alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather strap, used on rotation and properly maintained (periodic conditioning with a suitable cream, air-drying away from heat sources), can last between three and six years whilst developing a distinguished patina. Milano Straps straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
