Strap for Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Stainless Steel / Blue / Croco / Pin

The lug width of the Breitling Premier AB0118A61C1P2 is 22 mm. This is the correct measurement to use when selecting compatible aftermarket straps. It should be measured with a calliper between the two spring bar pins, excluding the case.

For the Premier AB0118A61C1P2, the most appropriate materials are vegetable-tanned alligator for formal occasions and Tuscan calf leather for everyday wear. Shell cordovan is a refined alternative with a compact, nearly grain-free surface. A deployant clasp in brushed or polished steel complements the stainless steel case coherently.

The strap is removed using a flat-tipped spring bar tool or a thin-bladed screwdriver to compress the spring bar inside the lug. Care must be taken to avoid scratching the case. It is recommended to work on a soft surface and, if in doubt, to consult a watchmaker or a specialist atelier such as Casati Milano.

Yes. Any strap with a 22 mm lug width and straight ends is technically compatible with the Premier AB0118A61C1P2. Milanostraps.it offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather, alligator and cordovan straps specifically tailored to this size. It is also advisable to verify the total strap length against your wrist circumference.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, care and frequency of use. A quality vegetable-tanned calf strap, maintained with regular conditioning cream and rotated with other straps, can last between two and five years. Alligator and shell cordovan, due to their denser fibre structure, tend to last longer and develop a patina that enhances their appearance over time. Milano Straps straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
