Strap for Navitimer Quartz 32 Stainless Steel / Blue MOP / Alligator

The Breitling Navitimer A77320171C1P1 has a lug width of 16mm. This measurement should be taken with a vernier calliper positioned between the lugs at their narrowest point, closest to the crystal. Any strap with a 16mm attachment is compatible with this reference.

For the 32mm Navitimer A77320171C1P1, the most suitable materials are vegetable-tanned calf leather for everyday versatility, alligator for a formal register, nylon NATO for an aeronautical nod, and shell cordovan for leather purists. The final choice depends on intended use and aesthetic preference.

The strap is removed using a fine-tipped spring bar tool, applying light pressure to the spring bars housed within the lugs. The operation takes approximately two minutes and requires no professional tools. It is advisable to rest the watch on a soft cloth to prevent scratches to the case.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, frequency of use and maintenance. A vegetable-tanned calf leather strap worn daily typically lasts between 18 and 36 months. Shell cordovan and alligator, owing to their denser fibre structure, generally offer greater longevity. Moisture and chemical exposure are the primary causes of deterioration.
