Chronomat 42 on rubber
Hello all,
Are there any Chronomat 42 owners (new model) wearing it on a rubber strap? I'd love to see some images if so but google isn't coming up with much! Many thanks |

Sorry, I do not have an image, but I have considered getting the Diver Pro strap for it. Everytime I consider it though, I can't help but feel that the bracelet is 50% of why I love this newer model so much. I'm debating adding a Superocean to my collection. If I do, it might scratch that itch. If I don't I'll throw it on the Diver Pro at some point and get back to you.

Hey, thanks ravager.
Still flirting with the chronomat! Tried one on and really liked it, but have also tried on a few other pieces on rubber straps and really liking the idea of the whole luxury watch on rubber vibe. I know I barely dare say it around here but I actually quite liked the Hublot Big Bang I tried on. Controversial I know. But I think back to the Breitling and how it just had a more expensive higher quality feel too it, and just exploring whether the Breitling on rubber is the perfect solution. Just need to see some pics! I may head back to the Breitling boutique and see if they can show me it on rubber.... |

There are some pics on this thread:

Thanks Argo.
I like the bracelet but this looks epic on rubber too. Gives the watch a completely different look and feel. Really nice. Cheers. Noted ref tomorrow, just seen another post about the webcast. Is it expected there will be some updates/new variants of this Chronomat 42? Will keep an eye out! |

First thing I thought when I saw the new releases is "can you get that strap on the 42"!
The 42mm with the strap from these new 44's is I think where I will end up (assuming it's possible) |

Newest Chronomats on mesh?
Maybe someone wears either of them (I mean the Chronomat 42 or the brand new 44) on the mesh? Better after making the surface brushed I think. Any photos about them on the mesh? Maybe with weight data? (I mean the watch weight ) - my Chronomat 41 looked sharp on the mesh.
Best, Robert |

White OEM Strap
Argo98, thanks for posting these pics. I never considered getting the OEM white rubber strap, but it really looks great on this watch. |

The flat shape of the case between the lugs makes it perfect for installing straps. I have never been a fan of the Rouleaux bracelet. I hope that Breitling offers this model with more strap options in the future.

Basic black OEM rubber strap. Was thinking of changing to a grey rubber on this one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Do those Chronomat straps work for any other breitlings? They look integrated into the end links.
