I think Fear is asking how many mm the strap is. How wide is it? 20mm? 22mm?

I can't think of a recent Breitling above 42mm that takes a 20mm strap.


But all is not lost - If you are going to pay thousands for a new Breitling watch the correct size calf strap, either 22 or 24mm, will only add about $175 to the price. My advice? Don't limit your watch options based on a strap that costs peanuts compared to the price of the watch. Get what you want.

I had to read the initial post a couple of times to make sure I read it correctly. Sorry, but it kind of struck me as like owning a tyre and asking what car to buy to make use of it.

Yes, much better to buy a watch you like and if the strap you have doesn't fit, just sell the strap and buy another one that fits the watch.
