Strap for Navitimer 1 B01 Chronograph 43 Stainless Steel / Airline Editions TWA / Calf / Pin

The Breitling Navitimer AB01219A1G1X1 has a lug width of 22 mm. This is the standard measurement for the 43 mm Navitimer case and allows compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket straps in leather or technical materials.

For the Navitimer AB01219A1G1X1, a vegetable-tanned alligator strap is the most coherent choice for its formal-sports register. A smooth brown calf leather or a woven nylon NATO strap also complement the original aeronautical aesthetic. For sport or marine use, a vulcanised rubber strap offers durability and comfort.

To replace the strap, remove the two springbars securing it to the lugs. Use a fine-tipped springbar tool, inserting the lever into the notch on the lug to compress the springbar and release the strap. Work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the case, or entrust the operation to a watchmaker or to Casati Milano atelier.

Yes. Any strap with a standard 22 mm attachment is compatible with the Navitimer AB01219A1G1X1. Milanostraps.it offers a dedicated selection of 22 mm straps in various materials and finishes, handcrafted to suit the proportions of the Breitling case.

Lifespan depends on the material and frequency of use. A quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, maintained with regular conditioning cream and kept away from heat sources, can last between 3 and 7 years. Perspiration and water exposure accelerate deterioration; for intensive daily wear, rotating between multiple straps or choosing a technical material such as rubber is advisable.
