Strap for Navitimer Silver / Alligator

The Breitling Navitimer A2332212/G533 has a lug width of 22mm. This measurement corresponds to the internal distance between the two lugs of the case, taken flush against the crystal, using a millimetre calliper. Any strap with a 22mm attachment is compatible with this reference.

For the stainless steel Navitimer A2332212/G533, the most suitable options are vegetable-tanned calf leather for everyday wear, Hornback alligator for a more formal register, and a nylon NATO strap for an aesthetically coherent nod to the model's aeronautical heritage. A brushed steel deployant clasp is recommended with all leather straps.

The strap on the Navitimer A2332212/G533 is removed using a springbar tool, inserted into the lug channel to compress and release the spring bar. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the steel lugs during the operation. Alternatively, a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier can carry out the swap in a matter of minutes.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, frequency of use and maintenance. A high-grade vegetable-tanned calf strap typically lasts between 2 and 4 years with daily wear. Alligator leather, due to its denser fibre structure, generally offers superior longevity. Casati Milano provides an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects on all artisan straps.
