Strap for Navitimer 1 Chronograph 41 Stainless Steel / Silver / Calf / Folding

The Breitling Navitimer A13324121G1X4 has a lug width of 22 mm. This measurement is taken with a millimetre calliper at the narrowest point between the two lugs where the strap attaches to the case.

For the 41 mm steel Navitimer, the most suitable materials are alligator leather for an elegant profile, perforated rally-style calf leather to echo the aeronautical heritage, shell cordovan for a strap that develops a unique patina over time, and vulcanised rubber for sporting or marine use. The correct lug width is 22 mm.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool. Insert the forked tip into the small notch on the side of the lug, compress the spring bar and slide the strap free. Take care not to scratch the case finish. If in doubt, have the strap changed by a professional watchmaker.

Yes. Any strap with a 22 mm attachment width is technically compatible with the Navitimer A13324121G1X4. Milano Straps offers a curated range of handcrafted 22 mm straps in various leathers and finishes, available ready to ship or made to order.

Longevity depends on the material and conditions of use. A vegetable-tanned calf strap worn daily typically lasts 2–4 years with proper care. Alligator leather, being denser and more resilient, can exceed 5 years. Shell cordovan is among the most durable owing to its tight, compacted fibre structure. Perspiration, water and heat are the primary causes of deterioration; keeping the strap dry and conditioning it every 3–4 months significantly extends its service life.
