Strap for Navitimer 1 38 Automatic Stainless Steel / Black / Croco / Pin

The lug width of the Breitling Navitimer A17325241B1P1 is 20mm. This measurement is taken using a calliper positioned directly between the two lugs, in contact with the case body. It is the critical specification for aftermarket strap compatibility.

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.

To change the strap on the Navitimer A17325241B1P1, use a fine-tipped spring bar tool to compress and release the spring bars from the lugs. Place the dial face down on a soft mat to avoid scratching the case. Insert the new 20mm strap by engaging the spring bars laterally into the lug holes with controlled pressure.

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.

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.
