They don't list the Pilot as an option. It's shown as available only on an OR and Diver Pro II. It would make sense that the LE Pilot would fit, since it seems reasonable the cases are the same, but that is a guess. I have no idea what the difficulty would be trying to get an LE Pilot by itself, though.

I'm 99.9999% sure the Chronomat Flying Fish is just using the standard Chronomat B01 case that's been brushed like the Chronomat 01 LE. In that case, the Chronomat 01 LE bracelet will definitely fit. I know it doesn't say that it's an option of the Breitling website, but then the site doesn't always list every strap option that would potentially fit every watch. For example it doesn't list any rubber strap option for the Transocean Chrono, but it'd definitely fit as it's just a standard 22mm strap.

Obviously getting a Chronomat 01 LE bracelet ordered might be more difficult as it's for an LE watch, but I still bet it fits.

When I raised the concern that the Pilot wasn't an option, my issue was mainly one of availability, since I assumed there would actually be a Pilot that fits it. It's more a matter of if would be possible to get one, and what one would have to go through to get it, both in terms of effort and cost. It's academic to me, though, since I'm not interested in getting this watch anyway.

Fair point. Perhaps one of our friendly AD's here will see if it's possible to order a brushed Chronomat 01 LE bracelet. *hint, hint* :wink:

Failing that, I guess there would always be the option of getting hold of a standard Chronomat 01 bracelet and having it professionally brushed to match.

As a related point, I think it's yet again a daft decision by Breitling not to offer a bracelet for the Flying Fish. No bracelet will undoubtedly turn quite a few people off it. :roll:
