New strap for the Transocean Chrono LE!

Alright, I love the mesh bracelet. The vintage look, it's uniqueness. But this was a combo I was really looking forward to trying out, and it didn't disappoint!

Although almost identical, the strap is a Hirsch thick calf, not the oem Breitling calf. It still needs some breaking in, but is a very high quality strap and a great deal compared to oem prices.

I think this is how I'm going to wear it for a while.

Looks great on calf strap. I worn mine like this most often time. Strap was from Official Time and not overly expensive either.

Looks great! I did the same thing with my Chronomat 44 and took the two-tone pilot bracelet off and put an OEM black leather strap on it--love the way it looks!

That is the best version of the Transocean, it should be a regular edition.

I like the Hirsch thick pad, it looks right on your chrono. Hirsch also makes the same one in a water proof version available from Germany. Although I can't prove it, I think Hirsch is the strap maker for Breitling. That's my suspicion. Enjoy!
