Strap for Navitimer World Stainless Steel / Silver / Croco / Pin

The Breitling Navitimer A2432212/G571/746PA20BA.1 features a lug width of 24 millimetres. This specification is the standard for contemporary large-diameter Breitling aviation chronographs (46mm) and is compatible with all aftermarket straps designed for this lug width.

The optimal strap depends on intended use. For formal elegance, alligator black or brown vegetable-tanned leather; for actual flight operation, technical FKM rubber or NATO fabric. Shell cordovan offers the highest durability and patina development, ideal for owners seeking longevity with minimal maintenance.

The strap is replaced using a spring bar tool inserted into the lateral case apertures to compress and release the lugs. Position the tool, apply gentle pressure, and extract the bar. Insert the new strap, ensuring the lug is fully seated. The procedure requires 2–3 minutes and is entirely reversible.

Yes, all straps manufactured for 24mm lug width are compatible. Milano Straps offers alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, shell cordovan, and technical rubber straps, customisable in length, colour, and stitching detail. Compatibility is assured through Breitling's standardised lug hole tolerances.

Leather strap longevity ranges from 3 to 10 years depending on material type, frequency of wear, and maintenance practices. Premium alligator may last 7–10 years; vegetable-tanned calf 5–7 years; shell cordovan up to 15 years with minimal degradation. UV exposure, humidity, and temperature extremes accelerate ageing.
