Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Breitling Navitimer A17325211C1P4?

The Breitling Navitimer A17325211C1P4 has a lug width of 20mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs of the case, where the strap fits. It is always advisable to verify this with a digital calliper before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

What is the best strap for the Breitling Navitimer A17325211C1P4?

For the Navitimer A17325211C1P4 with a 38mm stainless steel case, the most suitable straps are alligator belly-cut in black or brown for a refined look, vegetable-tanned calf leather for a natural patina effect over time, or vulcanised rubber for sporting use. The correct width is 20mm, with a standard or tapered end at 18mm.

How do you change the strap on a Breitling Navitimer A17325211C1P4?

To replace the strap on the Navitimer A17325211C1P4, you will need a fine-tipped spring bar tool to remove the spring bars from the case lugs. Work on a soft surface to protect the case finishing. If you are not experienced with this procedure, it is preferable to entrust the operation to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Navitimer A17325211C1P4?

Yes, the Navitimer A17325211C1P4 has standard 20mm lugs, compatible with the vast majority of quality aftermarket straps. On milanostraps.it you will find a wide selection in leather, NATO and rubber specifically curated for this width, with steel buckle or deployant clasp to maintain aesthetic consistency with the original case.

How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Navitimer A17325211C1P4?

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and care taken. A high-quality alligator or shell cordovan strap, with moderate daily use and proper maintenance, can last between 3 and 5 years while retaining structural integrity and appearance. Vegetable-tanned calf develops patina over time but requires protection from prolonged moisture. Casati Milano handcrafted straps come with an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
