Strap for Navitimer 1 38 Automatic Stainless Steel / Blue / Croco / Folding

The Breitling Navitimer A17325211C1P3 has a lug width of 20mm. This measurement should be verified using a digital calliper positioned between the two spring bar pins, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the case. It is equally important to account for the curved lug profile typical of the Navitimer line, which affects how the strap sits against the case.

For the 38mm stainless steel Navitimer A17325211C1P3, the most suitable options are: vegetable-tanned calf leather for a vintage aesthetic consistent with its aeronautical heritage, Hornback alligator for a more formal register, and ballistic nylon NATO for an authentic cockpit-instrument look. A steel deployant clasp paired with a leather strap is the ideal choice for those seeking precise, symmetrical fastening and reduced stress on the stitching.

Replacing the strap on the Navitimer A17325211C1P3 requires a fine-tipped spring bar tool, 1.5mm width. The Navitimer's lugs have a curved profile: work on a soft surface to protect the case and bezel. Press the spring bar lug to release each end, slide out the original strap, and insert the new one by aligning the pins with the lug holes. No specialist tools are required, but care should be taken to avoid scratching the rotating bezel or case flanks.

Yes, the Navitimer A17325211C1P3 accepts aftermarket straps with a 20mm lug width and a curved end profile to suit the characteristic geometry of its lugs.

The lifespan of a leather strap on the Navitimer A17325211C1P3 depends on the type of leather and frequency of use. A quality vegetable-tanned calf strap typically lasts 2 to 4 years with daily wear; alligator leather, owing to its dense fibrous structure, can exceed 5 years whilst retaining its profile integrity. Key factors affecting longevity include exposure to perspiration, water contact, and usage frequency. Casati Milano offers an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects on all handcrafted straps.
