What I'm asked about the Breitling Navitimer A17325241B1P1

What strap size does the Breitling Navitimer A17325241B1P1 take?

The Breitling Navitimer A17325241B1P1 needs 20 mm between the lugs, usually 16 mm at the buckle. It's the size I've been fitting on it for years.

Can the strap on the Breitling Navitimer A17325241B1P1 be changed?

Yes. It has spring bars between the lugs: with the right tool the strap comes off in a minute. If you'd rather not risk a scratch, I do it in the workshop.

Can I put a leather strap on the Breitling Navitimer A17325241B1P1?

Yes, in 20 mm leather. On a 38 mm chronograph I like box calf: it holds its shape and carries a substantial case.

Which strap do you recommend for the Breitling Navitimer A17325241B1P1?

A 20 mm box calf. You'll find it ready in the 20 mm collection. If you'd rather have something built on your wrist, the Casati atelier.

The Navitimer A17325241B1P1, seen from the bench

The Breitling Navitimer A17325241B1P1 is a 38mm automatic stainless steel watch from the classic Navitimer collection, featuring the Breitling Caliber 17 movement. The iconic circular slide rule on the dial serves as a functional instrument for pilot calculations. The lug width is precisely 20mm, which determines strap compatibility. Suitable materials include European alligator leather, vegetable-tanned calf, shell cordovan, and vulcanized rubber for sports use.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best strap for the Breitling Navitimer A17325241B1P1?

For the 38mm steel Navitimer A17325241B1P1, the most fitting options are a European alligator strap for formal occasions, a vegetable-tanned calfskin strap for daily wear with natural patina development, or shell cordovan for superior dimensional stability. Pairing any of these with a deployant clasp significantly reduces wear at the keeper and extends strap longevity.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Navitimer A17325241B1P1?

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is technically compatible with the Navitimer A17325241B1P1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted 20mm straps in alligator, calfskin, shell cordovan, and vulcanised rubber, available either as ready-to-ship or fully bespoke through Casati Milano atelier.

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

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, maintenance, and frequency of use. A quality alligator or shell cordovan strap, rotated regularly and kept away from prolonged moisture, can last between 3 and 7 years. Vegetable-tanned calfskin develops a distinctive patina and responds well to neutral conditioner applied every six months. Milano Straps provides an 18-month production defect guarantee on all straps.
