Leather strap for a Breitling Ocean Racer clasp?

[Andy H]

Hello Gents.

Does anybody know if a leather strap exists that would fit a Breitling Ocean Racer clasp?

Very unlikely, because you can't cut leather to size, like the rubber it's designed for.

You could ask a custom strap maker to design something for you. You'll need to take in to account the watch size, the clasp size and your wrist size to get the right fit, although there is some micro adjustment in the clasp. The strap would have to be designed like the short end (12 o'clock lug side)of a Breitling Leather Deployant Strap - two pieces.

Never thought of that, cheers. I´ll buy two identical straps and try my luck.

You could use your rubber as a template obviously. I'm pretty certain someone did this on one of the US forums, from memory watchuseek.

Cheers
