Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Breitling Navitimer A17329171C1A1?

The Breitling Navitimer A17329171C1A1 features a lug width of 22 mm. This measurement has remained consistent across 41 mm versions of the Navitimer and allows direct replacement with any standard 22 mm aftermarket strap.

What is the best strap for the Breitling Navitimer A17329171C1A1?

For the Navitimer A17329171C1A1, a vegetable-tanned alligator strap in tobacco or cognac tones best complements the aeronautical DNA of the watch and develops a unique patina over time. A nylon NATO strap honours the instrument heritage, while a technical rubber strap is the practical choice for active use.

How do you change the strap on a Breitling Navitimer A17329171C1A1?

Strap replacement requires a springbar tool to compress and release the spring bars securing the strap to the lugs. Rest the case on a soft surface to protect the crystal, insert the tool into the side hole of the lug, and gently compress the spring bar. If in doubt, the operation is best entrusted to a watchmaker or to the Casati Milano atelier.

How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Navitimer A17329171C1A1?

Longevity depends on leather quality and usage habits. A quality alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap, rotated with other straps and kept away from excess moisture and perspiration, can last between three and five years while maintaining structural integrity and developing a distinctive patina.
