Strap for Navitimer GMT 41 Automatic Red Gold / Green / Bracelet

The Breitling Navitimer R32310251L1R1 has a lug width of 22mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs at the point where the strap attaches to the case. It can be accurately verified using a digital calliper between the two case horns.

For an 18-carat red gold case, the most suitable materials are polished alligator leather in cognac or havana tones, which complements the warm reflections of the gold, and vegetable-tanned calf leather in tobacco, which develops a personal patina over time. Shell cordovan in burgundy is the choice for those seeking a more austere elegance. A deployant clasp in red gold completes the wrist coherently.

The Navitimer uses a standard spring bar attachment system. To replace the strap, a spring bar tool is required: insert the tip into the notch of the spring bar, compress it and slide the strap out from the lug. The operation takes approximately two minutes per side and does not require specialist technical assistance.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm attachment width is technically compatible with the Navitimer R32310251L1R1. It is important to choose a strap with a straight (non-curved) end and to check the taper: the standard 22/20mm format is the most common and ensures a correct fit with the majority of aftermarket buckles and deployant clasps.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, care and intensity of use. A high-grade alligator or calf leather strap, vegetable-tanned with artisan finishing, typically lasts between 2 and 5 years with daily wear. Avoiding prolonged contact with water and perspiration significantly extends its life. Milano Straps straps are covered by an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
