Anyone help me with how and where to get a new deployment strap for my Chronomat?

My strap is very old, stitching looks all dirty etc etc. It has a gold deployment buckle which I would like to keep so could anyone help with how and where I can just source the two sides of the strap? I think an alligator strap would look nice not to fond of the stitching as it gets dirty quick. Any help appreciated !

The correct lug size would be 20mm so the strap would be a 20-18, but I cheated, you can see the size on the back of Breitling straps!

Hi Jay,

In your shoes I would check around for custom strap makers. Some of them sell on TRF and you might even have others that are local in the UK.

This way you can select the material, stitching, and perfect the fitment if you have too much trouble meeting the requirements.

Have you checked the Breitling website? You can get the straps there. The 429X strap they have may be the one you have, or at least it may be compatible.

Thanks for the help guys will check out the breitling website, didn’t know that was a possibility as it’s an old watch. My AD sells breitling maybe I’ll pop in there give me a reason to show my face and see where the hell my watches are ha...

If there’s anyone someone could directly put me in contact with or any websites that would be great, thanks.
