Strap for Navitimer 1 35 Automatic Stainless Steel - Diamond / MOP / Bracelet

The Breitling Navitimer A17395721G1A1 features an 18mm lug width. It is essential to also check the curvature of the lugs before purchasing a replacement strap, as some Navitimer versions require curved-end straps to ensure a proper fit without mechanical stress on the lug ends.

For the steel Navitimer A17395721G1A1 at 35mm, a matte alligator leather strap in vegetable tanning is the most coherent choice given the watch's technical-aviatory character. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calfskin develops an authentic patina over time, whilst a ballistic nylon NATO strap suits a more dynamic daily use. The correct width is 18mm.

The strap on the Navitimer A17395721G1A1 is removed using a springbar tool, which releases the spring bars from the lugs without scratching the case. It is advisable to work on a soft surface and use a professional-grade tool. If in doubt, consult a watchmaker or a specialist atelier such as Casati Milano.

Yes, numerous aftermarket straps are compatible with the Navitimer A17395721G1A1, provided they respect the 18mm lug width and the original lug curvature. Milano Straps offers a selection of handcrafted straps in various leathers and technical materials, available bespoke or from the online catalogue, all compatible with this reference.

The lifespan of a leather strap on the Navitimer A17395721G1A1 depends on the material and frequency of wear. A quality alligator or shell cordovan strap, with proper care, can last between three and five years. Vegetable-tanned calfskin has a similar lifespan, developing a distinctive patina over time. Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
