Breitling straps now available online
About a couple of weeks ago, Breitling launched a section of their site dedicated to selling straps. There are about 120 different straps available and I've spent way too much time on there looking at them and figuring out which ones to get next. Without another watch incoming, I figured the best way to mix it up was to pick up a couple of straps.
https://www.breitling.com/us-en/straps/ I already had one on order for my Chronomat Airborne from my AD but decided my next one would be one of the new Econyl nato straps for my Superocean Heritage Chrono. It arrived today in a special little package that Breitling is using when straps are ordered. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is my first nato strap experience so I decided to get one of their special Econyl straps made from recycled materials that are polluting the oceans. These are associated with the Outerknown brand which is why these straps have the logo on them. Overall, I'm very impressed with the strap. The quality is top notch and it's very comfortable. I can easily see ordering a couple more of these for my Chronomat in a couple different colors. |

The rubber straps are far cheaper than the dealers offer them for. Like $75/pop. Super reasonable!

The $75 is for insert only and would be same price at a dealer. No difference on prices from site vs dealers.

While you’d think that would be true, I have experience (and others) in the contrary. Just last week they tried to sell my buddy a $75 strap for $180. Probably because they could mark up however much they wanted since there was no public discussion price list for straps. In that particular instance, my buddy got out of it since the prices are online now; however, it used to be different. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Bought the same blue nato.
Does it loosen up with break in? Very stiff. |

Thanks for the tip. I ended up going to the boutique to replace my broken 3 year old leather strap/buckle combo. Tried the NATO (still online only) and various straps. Ended up with rubber diver strap and brushed SS deployant clasp.
