I've had this Chronomat for a while now, and the leather strap is starting to wear out, I want to replace the strap with a pilots bracelet. Whenever I check the lug size online, it says it's 20 mm, but when I measure it myself, it comes to 22.

The serial number on it is 13050.1 and I'm at a bit of a loss here. I just want to be sure before I invest over a thousand into a stainless steel bracelet.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me. :)

Strange. The 13050 should indeed be 20mm. Be sure that you are measuring in between the lugs and with a accurate tape measure. Post a pic of the watch just to be 100% that everything it ok with the watch.

It's 20mm and you need a bracelet stamped CHRONO / DUOG. 300A will also fit, as will 301A (but that's brushed) and 303A (which is a brushed / polished combo).

So a 357a wouldn't fit?

I was thinking of even getting a cheap knock off first just to gauge the size, then buying another one.

Is that a bad idea?

357A is for the Chronomat Evolution and is 22mm.

If you have a 13050.1 it has 20mm lugs.

Okay, I got it, thank you so much for the help. I guess it's time to start shopping around.
