Strap for Navitimer B01 Chronograph 41 Stainless Steel - Diamond / Blue MOP / USA

The Breitling Navitimer AB01396A1C1P1 has a lug width of 22mm. This measurement is taken between the two lugs of the case using a digital calliper or a millimetre ruler. It is essential to match this dimension precisely to ensure correct strap fitment and a clean aesthetic on the wrist.

The most appropriate straps for the Navitimer AB01396A1C1P1 are vegetable-tanned alligator leather in cognac or tobacco tones, military-style calfskin with visible stitching inspired by vintage pilot straps, and ballistic nylon NATO for intensive daily use. The ideal choice depends on intended use and desired aesthetic pairing with the dial.

The strap on the Navitimer AB01396A1C1P1 is replaced using standard 22mm spring bars. A spring bar tool is sufficient to release the bars from the lugs and remove the existing strap. The procedure does not require advanced watchmaking skills, but care should be taken to avoid scratching the stainless steel case.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm lug width and standard spring bars is technically compatible with the Navitimer AB01396A1C1P1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of artisan straps in various materials — alligator, calfskin, NATO, rubber — available bespoke or ready to ship, all compatible with this Breitling reference.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on leather quality, frequency of use, and exposure to perspiration, humidity and UV light. A high-quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, worn daily with moderate activity, typically lasts between 2 and 5 years. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects on all straps.
