Strap for Navitimer Automatic 41 Automatic Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The Breitling Navitimer A17326211G1A1 has a lug width of 22mm. This measurement should be taken with a digital calliper at the narrowest point between the lugs to ensure correct compatibility with any replacement strap.

The most suitable straps for the Navitimer A17326211G1A1 are belly-cut alligator (black or midnight blue for a formal register), vegetable-tanned calfskin in tobacco or cognac for a natural patina over time, nylon NATO to reference the watch's aeronautical heritage, or vulcanised rubber for intensive use. The lug width is 22mm.

To replace the strap on the Navitimer A17326211G1A1, use a spring bar tool or pointed lever to remove the spring bars from the 22mm lugs. Rest the case on a soft cushion to avoid scratching the caseback. If in doubt, a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier can perform the swap safely.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, usage and maintenance. A quality vegetable-tanned calfskin strap worn daily typically lasts between 18 and 36 months. Alligator, due to its denser fibre structure, can exceed 3–4 years. Avoiding prolonged exposure to water and perspiration significantly extends strap life. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
