Strap for Navitimer World Red Gold / Black / Bracelet

The lug width is 24 millimetres. This measurement is specific to the H2432212/B928/426H reference and is determined by the geometry of the 46mm case. The correct measurement should be taken between the upper and lower attachment points on the internal surface of the case. A comprehensive selection of 24mm-compatible straps is available online and through the Casati Milano atelier.

For a precious metal watch in 18-carat rose gold such as this reference, alligator is the most sophisticated choice: its natural texture amplifies the precious character of the case. Shell cordovan offers a luxury alternative with a patina that matures over time, whilst vegetable tanning represents a compromise between quality and environmental sustainability. Cross-grain calf leather ensures daily versatility. The choice depends on the context of use and personal aesthetic vision.

To change the strap, use a spring bar tool. Position the watch on a stable surface, engage the tool's bifurcated tip under the attachment pin from the less visible side, and gently push downwards until the spring bar is released. Repeat on the other side. Subsequently, insert the new strap by first engaging the upper pin, then pressing from below until you hear a click of security. Avoid sharp movements to prevent damage to the case.

Yes, provided the lug width is 24 millimetres. Always verify that the spring bar shoulders fit the seats in the case without forcing. 22mm or 26mm straps are not compatible. On milanostraps.it you will find high-quality aftermarket straps made from noble materials and customisable, guaranteeing the same technical and aesthetic level as the original Breitling strap.

Lifespan varies depending on material and usage. A high-quality alligator or shell cordovan strap can last 5-8 years with moderate use and proper maintenance, developing a precious patina over time. Vegetable-tanned leather tends to age more rapidly but in a controlled manner. Calf leather has a similar lifespan to alligator. To extend the strap's life, protect it from excessive moisture, avoid bathing and prolonged sun exposure, and periodically apply a neutral balm. All straps from the Casati Milano atelier are guaranteed for 18 months.
