Strap for Navitimer Ref 806 1959 Re-Edition Platinum

The Breitling Navitimer LB0910211C1P1 has a lug width of 22mm. This measurement is taken with a digital calliper positioned between the two lugs at the point where the strap sits. Any strap with a 22mm attachment is compatible with this reference.

For a platinum 950 case such as that of the Navitimer LB0910211C1P1, a vegetable-tanned alligator strap is the most coherent choice both aesthetically and in terms of materials. Shell cordovan offers a compact, burnished surface with an exceptional patina as an alternative. For more active or daily use, vulcanised rubber or ballistic nylon NATO straps are durable and practical options.

The strap on the Navitimer LB0910211C1P1 is secured with standard 22mm spring bars. To replace it, use a spring bar tool or a dedicated lug lever to compress the spring bar from its lateral slot and slide the strap free. This is a straightforward procedure that can be carried out independently with the correct tools, or entrusted to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm attachment is technically compatible with the Navitimer LB0910211C1P1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather, rubber, and nylon straps specifically in 22mm, made with materials and finishing standards appropriate for a timepiece of this calibre. Artisanal aftermarket quality often surpasses original straps in terms of customisation and material selection.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, tanning quality, and daily use. A high-quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, rotated with other straps and kept away from excessive moisture and perspiration, can last between three and six years while retaining its structural and aesthetic integrity. Shell cordovan is notably more resilient than calf leather and tends to develop a desirable patina over time rather than deteriorating. Milano Straps provides an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects on all handcrafted straps.
