Strap for Navitimer 1 B01 Chronograph 43 Stainless Steel / Silver / Croco / Pin

The Breitling Navitimer AB0121211G1P1 features a 22 mm lug width. The lugs are integrated with a curved profile, so for an optimal fit it is advisable to use straps with curved ends specifically designed for this reference.

For the Navitimer AB0121211G1P1 with its black dial, the most suitable straps are: vegetable-tanned alligator in midnight blue or tobacco brown for an elegant, aviator-inspired pairing; vegetable-tanned calf leather to develop a natural patina over time; NATO nylon for daily sporting use. A vulcanised rubber strap with a steel deployant clasp is preferable for intensive use.

To replace the strap, a spring bar tool is required. The Navitimer uses standard 22 mm spring bars. Insert the forked tip of the tool between the lug and the spring bar, compress the spring and slide the strap free. Care should be taken not to scratch the steel case: protecting the lugs with mylar tape or entrusting the operation to a watchmaker is recommended.

Yes. Aftermarket 22 mm straps with curved ends are compatible with the Navitimer AB0121211G1P1. Milanostraps.it offers a selection of handcrafted leather, NATO and rubber straps specifically sized for this reference, with bespoke customisation options through the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on leather quality, frequency of wear and care. A high-quality alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap, worn daily and rotated with others, typically lasts 2–4 years. Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Avoiding prolonged exposure to perspiration, water and perfume significantly extends strap life.
