The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Is it possible to find a Breitling mesh bracelet for the Chronomat?

There isn't one produced - you may be able to get one of them to fit as they are straight ended, but best to check before buying.

I didn't think there was a 22mm mesh bracelet made. Or is the 38mm SOH on 22mm lugs?

You might be right about that - never thought. SOH38 is 20mm.

I like the Chrono and the mesh. Thought maybe the combination of the two could work.

I have a Chrono Cockpit and have as a bracelet option the mesh of the SOH 38 mm - they look GREAT together! I have scan about this watch still with the original dial (new one on the way):

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Now does anyone know if that'll work on the Chrono and if so, how much does the mesh bracelet typically cost?

As Driver8 said, don't think that there is a 22mm mesh.

I think it looks great, but sadly you are only going to be able to do this with an aftermarket mesh. The B'ling mesh doesn't come in 22mm. The best aftermarket mesh is Omega, as it doesn't use the end tubes, to me that just looks better. UTS also makes a killer mesh, but I'm not sure how the rounded end pieces would look on the Evo.

If it was me, I would buy a Lonestar, very nice, good quality for just over $100 and try it out, see how you like it and then decide if its worth spending $300 (omega) or $400 (UTS) on a thicker one.

You should check http://www.staib.de, they are the makers of fine mesh bracelets, I think Schauer and UTS mesh is also a branded staib: http://www.utswatches.com/bracelet.html. I have one on order, it should come in September. You should be careful though because length adjustment can happen only in 5 mm steps and the shortest length is 150 mm. Hope they'll discover the 7.5 mm adjustment and a shorter length too.

Breitling does not have 22 mm mesh, only 20 and 24 mm but they might produce one later.

Hope this helps.

BTW mesh usually is a highly stylish bracelet for almost every pilots and divers watch and a very comfy wear: I have very hairy wrist but the Breitling mesh does not any harm to it. My two cents only of course.
