Strap for Super Chronomat 38 Stainless Steel / Ice Blue / Alligator

The Breitling Super Chronomat A17356531C1P1 has a lug width of 20mm. This measurement is taken between the two case lugs using a millimetre calliper and is compatible with the vast majority of aftermarket straps available from artisan producers.

The ideal choice depends on the context. For formal occasions, a hornback alligator strap in midnight blue or smoke grey complements the ceramic bezel. For everyday wear, a vegetable-tanned calfskin strap with natural grain offers durability and develops a personal patina over time. For sport or outdoor use, moulded rubber or ballistic nylon NATO straps are the most practical options.

The strap is replaced using a fine-tipped springbar tool, gently pressing the spring bar housed within the lug. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the ceramic bezel. The operation takes under two minutes and requires no professional watchmaking assistance.

Yes. Any strap with a standard 20mm attachment and spring bar fitting is compatible with the Super Chronomat A17356531C1P1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of Italian artisan straps in various leathers and materials, available made-to-order or ready to ship in 20mm.

Longevity depends on leather quality and frequency of wear. A vegetable-tanned calfskin strap with waxed thread stitching typically lasts between two and five years with regular use. Hornback alligator, owing to its dense follicle structure, offers superior resistance to moisture and surface abrasion. Milano Straps provides an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
