Senator Chronometer Strap Update
I had posted some time ago about strap options for the Senator Chronometer. Here is the result from Camille Fournet:
Looks really good
Camille Fournet is such a pleasure to deal with. I’ve had good experiences online and in their Paris boutique. The product is excellent too!
Could you help with the sizing please
I have the same watch (the 2019 iteration) and I am having similar issues to those you detailed; the leather/deployant factory fit strap does not fit perfectly.
I bought it with the standard strap and had this changed to a small strap but the clasp still drifts to the side and is difficult to centre. We have similar sized wrists (a little over 6.5) so can you tell me the dimensions please of the CF strap you bought (it looks great).
Thanks
70x105mm
I ordered 70 x 105mm, and it fits perfectly. Maybe a little too perfectly, as it is short enough I snipped off the second keep, as it didn't do anything. I would consider going a bit larger, but the advantage to 70x105 was that it was a standard size, and so did not have a surcharge for custom measurements.
(For comparison, the GO short strap is 75x105mm.)
I highly recommend the caoutchouc lining. I ordered two straps, one with small alligator lining and one with caoutchouc. Both are nice, but caoutchouc is the surprise winner. It is smooth, soft, very comfortable, and protects the strap better in warmer weather.
One last note is that you may find a more attractive price ordering through Freda Straps rather than CF directly.
