Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Breitling Navitimer RB01391A1Q1P1?

The Breitling Navitimer RB01391A1Q1P1 has a lug width of 14mm. This measurement must be respected precisely when selecting any aftermarket strap, whether in leather, rubber, or NATO nylon.

Which strap best suits the Breitling Navitimer RB01391A1Q1P1 in red gold?

With the red gold case of the Navitimer RB01391A1Q1P1, the finest pairings are a vegetable-tanned alligator strap in tobacco or cognac, or a shell cordovan strap in deep burgundy. Both complement the warm reflections of the red gold and develop a natural patina consistent with the character of the timepiece.

How do you change the strap on the Breitling Navitimer RB01391A1Q1P1?

The strap is removed using a springbar tool, inserted into the lug slot to compress the spring bars. With a red gold case, it is advisable to protect polished surfaces with a soft cloth to avoid scratches. The operation takes approximately two minutes for anyone familiar with the procedure.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Navitimer RB01391A1Q1P1?

Yes. Any strap with a 14mm attachment is technically compatible with the Navitimer RB01391A1Q1P1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted straps verified on this specific model, available online or made to measure at the Casati Milano atelier. The quality of the aftermarket strap should be commensurate with the value of the red gold case.

How long does a leather strap last on the Breitling Navitimer RB01391A1Q1P1?

A quality leather strap — vegetable-tanned alligator or shell cordovan — paired with the Navitimer RB01391A1Q1P1 typically lasts between 2 and 4 years with daily wear, depending on exposure to perspiration and humidity. A bespoke Casati Milano strap carries an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
