Strap for Navitimer Rattrapante Stainless Steel / Silver / Croco / Folding

The lug width of the Breitling Navitimer AB0310211G1P1 is 24 millimetres. This measurement is specific to the 45mm case size and must be verified before purchasing any aftermarket strap to ensure correct compatibility with the case lugs.

For the 45mm Navitimer, a vegetable-tanned alligator strap is ideal: the natural texture of the leather contrasts elegantly with the stainless steel, and the patina evolves over time, enhancing the watch's character. Alternatively, smooth calfskin or Shell Cordovan represent noble choices with a more minimalist aesthetic.

The strap is changed by removing the spring bars from the case using a dedicated tool called a spring bar tool. Insert the bars into the holes of the new strap, align the passant with the case lugs, and reinsert the bars. Professional watchmakers are recommended for precision operations on valuable chronographs.

Yes, you can use aftermarket 24mm straps compatible with the Breitling Navitimer. Milano Straps offers artisanal leather straps of superior quality, customisable in colour, length, and stitching finishes, ensuring full compatibility with the 45mm case.

A vegetable-tanned leather strap, if properly maintained, lasts approximately 3-5 years before requiring replacement due to natural wear. Durability depends on usage frequency and exposure to water and humidity. Milano Straps straps include an 18-month warranty and can be restored at the Casati Milano atelier.
