This Breitling Chronomat silver rubber replica pairs the Chronomat B01 chronograph case with a silver dial on a black rubber strap, creating a combination that leans distinctly toward casual and sport-oriented wear. Reference AB0134101G1S1 keeps the signature rider-tab bezel and 42mm stainless steel case while the silver dial, its navy-black registers and the black rubber strap shift the personality away from the metal-bracelet versions. The result is a chronograph that works just as naturally with a weekend jacket as it does on a motorcycle, though its 50 m rating means it should stay out of the pool. Read our overview of the Chronomat range for the rest of the family in one short paragraph.

What Rubber Changes on a Chronomat

On rubber, the Chronomat sheds a noticeable amount of weight compared to the Rouleaux bracelet version. That weight reduction changes the wearing experience entirely, especially during warmer months when a metal bracelet can feel heavy and adhesive against the skin.

Silver Dial, Navy-Black Registers

Silver-dial chronographs with dark registers are a classic layout across Swiss brands, but the Chronomat adds its own texture to it through the rider tabs and the integrated lug structure. Breitling originally designed those tabs for the Italian Air Force aerobatic team, and they remain one of the few functionally distinct bezel features in modern watchmaking. The UB0136251B1U1 two-tone 44mm takes the Chronomat in a more luxurious direction with gold and steel, while this all-steel silver reference stays firmly in sporting territory. The broader Chronomat collection offers rubber-strap and bracelet versions across 42mm and 44mm cases.

Breitling Chronomat Silver Dial Replica on Black Rubber

The rubber strap version of the Chronomat is a lighter and more flexible way to wear a B01-style column-wheel chronograph. You feel the difference immediately when switching from the rouleaux bracelet: the watch sits higher and conforms more naturally to the wrist curvature. Silver also pairs easily with navy, grey and black clothing, and the navy-black registers echo the dark rubber strap. This silver Chronomat on rubber keeps the same clone Cal. B01 chronograph as the bracelet models in a relaxed, wearable format.
