I have recently inherited a Chronomat 808 (hopefully pictured below). I am not sure that the Fixoflex strap is original and so would be pleased to get any pointers on what may have come with it when new, as I think I would like to change it.

Thanks

Wow!

Nice first Breitling, and welcome to BreitlingSource.

It probably started life on a leather strap, but the straps of the era were not particularly comfortable. I think that it would look very nice on a modern Breitling calf or croc strap.

Welcome. You can see from that how Breitling got such a good reputation.

Leather would look nice.
