The Navitimer A17395721G1A1, seen from the bench

The Navitimer 1 35 Automatic (ref. A17395721G1A1) is an iconic aviation chronograph featuring a 35mm stainless steel case with mixed finishes and an integrated circular slide rule scale on the dial. Powered by the Breitling 17 ND automatic movement with bidirectional winding, the watch displays hours, minutes, and seconds. The 18mm lug width requires tapered or curved-end straps for proper fit due to the slightly curved lug geometry.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Breitling Navitimer A17395721G1A1?

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.

What is the best strap for the Breitling Navitimer A17395721G1A1?

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.

How do you change the strap on a Breitling Navitimer A17395721G1A1?

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.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Navitimer A17395721G1A1?

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.

How long does a leather strap last on the Breitling Navitimer A17395721G1A1?

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.
