Strap for Navitimer Automatic 41 Automatic Stainless Steel / Blue - Boutique & Online

The Breitling Navitimer A173266A1C1P1 has a lug width of 22mm. This measurement should be taken with a millimetre calliper across the inner distance between the two lugs, not with flexible measuring tools. An acceptable tolerance for an aftermarket strap is ±0.5mm to ensure a lateral play-free fit.

For the Navitimer A173266A1C1P1, a matte-grain alligator strap or a vegetable-tanned calf leather strap is the most coherent choice given the instrument-oriented character of the stainless steel case. For intensive or sporty use, vulcanised rubber or nylon NATO straps offer resilience against climate variation. A butterfly deployant clasp is recommended to preserve fine leathers over time.

Changing the strap on the Navitimer A173266A1C1P1 requires 22mm spring bars and a dedicated spring bar tool. The Navitimer lugs have a slight downward inclination; care should be taken to avoid scratching the stainless steel case. If you are unfamiliar with the process, the operation can be performed by a watchmaker or at the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes. The Navitimer A173266A1C1P1 accepts any aftermarket strap with a 22mm attachment width. On milanostraps.it, handcrafted straps in alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan, and technical materials are available, all supplied with spring bars and compatible with the original Breitling lug geometry.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, the tanning process, and daily use. A quality vegetable-tanned calf strap lasts on average 2–4 years with daily wear; an alligator strap, thanks to its dense fibre structure, can exceed 5 years if kept away from excessive water and perspiration. Milano Straps offers an 18-month guarantee on manufacturing defects on all its straps.
