Strap for Navitimer 1 Chronograph 41 Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The Breitling Navitimer A13324121G1A1 has a lug width of 22mm. This measurement is specific to the 41mm variant of the Navitimer family and should be taken with a digital calliper positioned internally between the two lugs, flush against the case.

For the Navitimer A13324121G1A1, the most suitable materials are vegetable-tanned alligator for formal settings, smooth calf leather for everyday wear, and vulcanised rubber for sporting use. A tobacco brown alligator strap with contrast stitching is widely regarded as the classic pairing for the steel case and black dial.

To replace the strap on the Navitimer A13324121G1A1, use a fine-tipped springbar tool to release the spring bars from the lugs. The short, structured lugs of the Navitimer require care to avoid scratching the case: work on a soft cushion and protect the case surface with micropore tape. A watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier can perform the swap in a matter of minutes.

Yes, the aftermarket offers a wide selection of 22mm straps compatible with the Navitimer A13324121G1A1.

It is important to ensure the strap has an end profile suited to the short, slightly curved lugs of the Navitimer.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, frequency of wear, and care. A high-quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap worn daily typically lasts 2–4 years before requiring replacement. Smooth calf leather has a similar lifespan but develops a desirable personal patina over time. Keeping the strap away from water, perfume, and excessive perspiration significantly extends its life. Milano Straps provides an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
