I decide to put a Breitling Leather strap on my Airborne 41 and replace the Pilot bracelet as I have a black Airborne 44 on pilot bracelet, what's your thoughts please?

It looks cool. I prefer the bracelet but to each his own.

The Chronomat/Airborne 41 simply deserves the beautiful and highly comfy Pilot bracelet. I have the BEB-dial Chronomat 41 and a new world opened up when I've bought the Pilot. Just my two cents.

I would agree but I have the pilot bracelet on my black 44 Airborne so this leather is to change my collection up a bit.

Varietas delectat :) of course very similar watches can be differentiated through their straps. Enjoy both! According to my very subjective opinion the Chronomat 41 is the "best ever" Breitling for the purpose it was made for... (for my 6.75" wrist the 44 mm version always prove to be oversized - tested many-many times...)

Yeah I see your point, I have 8" wrists though so no trouble with 44 or my Rolex Daytona

In this case there is the Chronomat B01 GMT with 47 mm... the Daytona is just about the same size like the Chronomat 41 (40 vs. 41 mm) and very similar feel too. (For me date feature and turning bezel are a must so no question here.)

I had a 47mm GMT I could carry it off but it's too big for my taste. The Daytona is actually 38.66mm so I have that, the Airborne 41, the Airborne 44 and a Tag Heuer Link Auto 42mm

Great collection, man! I could not guess that the officially 40 mm Daytona is actually under 39 mm?...
My smallest chronograph is a 39 mm (a tad under 39) Chrono cockpit, while the largests are around 44 mm but different shape from the Chronomat so shorter lugs make them wearable.

A vote for the leather. Looks very elegant.

Leather

That Airborne looks fantastic on the black leather I've had my eye on that airborne they are kinda hard to find

BiggerJon · 12 March 2017, 02:01 AM

I like the leather.

The Breitling bracelets are amazing, but some watches (like yours) really can pull off a comfy leather strap quite well.

Are you considering selling the pilots bracelet?

Thanks,
Phil
