FAQ
What is the lug width of the Breitling Super Chronomat AB0136251B1A2?
The lug width of the Breitling Super Chronomat AB0136251B1A2 is 20mm. This measurement is taken at the narrowest point between the two case lugs using a digital calliper. It is the value required when ordering a replacement or aftermarket strap compatible with this reference.
What is the best strap for the Breitling Super Chronomat AB0136251B1A2?
The ideal choice depends on intended use and personal style. For a dressed-up register, a hornback or mississippiensis alligator strap in vegetable-tanned leather offers the most refined result. For everyday sport use, vulcanised rubber or a ballistic nylon NATO provide durability and practicality. A hand-patinated calf strap strikes the balance between character and versatility.
How do you change the strap on a Breitling Super Chronomat AB0136251B1A2?
The Super Chronomat secures its Rouleaux bracelet via standard 20mm spring bars. To replace it, use a spring bar tool (pointed or forked tip) to compress and remove the spring bars from the lugs, then detach the bracelet. Insert the replacement strap ensuring the spring bars are the correct length for the internal lug width. The operation takes only a few minutes and requires no specialist equipment.
Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Super Chronomat AB0136251B1A2?
Yes. Any strap with a 20mm attachment width is technically compatible with the Super Chronomat AB0136251B1A2, provided the spring bars are the appropriate length for this case. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted 20mm straps in various materials, designed to pair precisely with this Breitling reference both dimensionally and aesthetically.
How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Super Chronomat?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, tanning method, and conditions of use. A quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, with regular care, will last between three and five years with daily wear. Calf leather typically has a shorter lifespan of one to three years but develops an attractive patina over time. Minimising exposure to water and perspiration significantly extends the strap's longevity. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
