Strap for Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Stainless Steel / Silver / Croco / Folding

The lug width of the Breitling Premier AB0118221G1P1 is 22mm. This is the standard measurement to use when selecting any replacement strap, whether an official Breitling item or an aftermarket artisan piece.

Given the Premier's formal character, the most coherent materials are vegetable-tanned alligator and box-calf leather. An hornback alligator strap with a steel buckle or deployant clasp provides the highest degree of stylistic consistency with the 42mm steel case and the in-house Caliber B01.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool. Insert the forked tip into the channel between the lug and the strap keeper, compress the spring bar and slide the strap free. The operation takes approximately two minutes per side. If in doubt, consult a watchmaker or a specialist atelier.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm attachment and standard spring bars is compatible with the Breitling Premier AB0118221G1P1. Milano Straps offers a wide selection of handcrafted 22mm straps — in alligator, calf, shell cordovan, NATO and rubber — made by hand in Italy using carefully selected materials.

Longevity depends on the material and daily use. A quality calf strap, with ordinary care (avoiding prolonged exposure to water and perspiration, and rotating between several straps), typically lasts 2–4 years. A vegetable-tanned alligator strap, owing to its denser fibre structure, can reach 5–7 years while developing a distinguished patina. Milano Straps provides an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
