Strap for Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Bentley Stainless Steel / Green / Calf / Bracelet

The Breitling Premier AB0118A11L1A1 has a lug width of 22mm. This measurement should be taken with a calliper gauge between the inner faces of the two lugs, directly against the case middle. Only straps with a 22mm attachment will fit correctly.

For the Premier AB0118A11L1A1, a vegetable-tanned alligator strap with a polished finish is the most coherent choice for its dress-sport aesthetic. Fine-grain Tuscan calf leather is a versatile alternative that develops an attractive patina over time. For a more casual or sporty look, a two-colour nylon NATO strap references Breitling's aviation heritage directly.

To replace the strap on a Breitling Premier, use a spring bar tool with a fine tip. Insert the tip into the gap between the lug and the strap, compress the spring bar and slide it out. Take care not to scratch the polished case: it is advisable to protect the surfaces with low-tack tape before starting the operation.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm attachment tapering to a standard 20mm towards the buckle is compatible with the Breitling Premier AB0118A11L1A1. Milano Straps offers handcrafted leather, alligator and technical material straps made to suit this case type, with buckles and deployant clasps available in polished or brushed steel.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, frequency of use and maintenance. A high-quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, rotated with other straps, can last between three and five years. Premium calf leather achieves similar longevity with periodic conditioning. Exposure to perspiration, water or intense heat accelerates wear: in these conditions, it is advisable to alternate with a rubber or NATO strap.
