I'm looking to buy a SS bracelet to put on my older Chronomat. My AD called Breitling to determine the proper bracelet model number. He was told my watch (model #B13050.1) is not a Chronomat, but a 'wings', and the lug size is 19mm, not 20mm....and they don't make bracelets for them. I am looking at the watch...it says Chronomat Automatic / the strap size is 20/18 / I know it is authentic..I bought it new, from Baily Banks & Biddle in 1999. Anybody out there have a little more knowledge than the C/S people at Breitling?? What would be the bracelet model that fits my watch? Many thanks
I suspect that someone got confused between your watch and one of the reference numbers for the Wings - 10350.
The 13050 Chronomat is indeed a 20 / 18 pilot bracelet, but I'm not sure on the end links. The original end links would have been stamped chrono / duo, but all bracelets now have number and letter codes for the end links.
Earlier versions of this watch would also have come with a rouleaux bracelet - again, not sure on references (and that bracelet is discontinued).
