Strap for Super Chronomat B01 44 Stainless Steel / Blue / Rubber

The Breitling Super Chronomat AB0136161C1S1 features a lug width of 20mm. Despite the substantial 44mm case diameter, this standard measurement opens compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket and bespoke straps.

Given the ceramic black and stainless steel construction of the Super Chronomat, a polished black or dark grey alligator strap delivers the highest aesthetic coherence. A vegetable-tanned calf leather in cognac or tobacco provides a warm contrast. For sporting use, vulcanised rubber is the most practical and durable option.

The Super Chronomat uses standard 20mm spring bars. Using a spring bar tool, compress the bars within the lug slots to release the original bracelet or strap. The operation does not require a watchmaker, but care must be taken to avoid scratching the ceramic case surface.

Yes. Any strap with a 20mm attachment and standard length (75/115mm or 70/115mm) is compatible. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted straps specifically for 20mm lug watches, available in leather, nylon, and rubber, with brushed steel buckles and deployant clasps suited to the Breitling aesthetic.

Longevity depends on leather type and usage. A high-quality alligator strap, properly maintained with leather conditioner and kept away from prolonged moisture, typically lasts 3 to 5 years while retaining a pristine appearance. Vegetable-tanned calf leather develops a natural patina over time but is more susceptible to perspiration; best used on rotation. Rubber straps have no practical wear-related lifespan limitations under normal use.
