Strap for Navitimer B01 Chronograph 41 Red Gold / Black MOP / Japan

The lug width of the Breitling Navitimer RB01395A1B1P1 is 14mm. This measurement should be taken with a calliper at the narrowest point between the lugs, where the strap fits. Respecting this specification is essential to ensure correct fitment and eliminate lateral play.

For an 18kt red gold case, alligator straps in bordeaux or cognac, vegetable-tanned, offer the most coherent chromatic and tactile pairing. Alternatively, dark brown calf leather or shell cordovan in mid-tan provide understated elegance without sacrificing depth. The lug width is 14mm, with a recommended taper to 12mm at the buckle end.

The Navitimer strap is removed using a flat-tipped springbar tool. Apply gentle lever pressure to the springbars securing the strap to the lugs, taking care not to scratch the red gold case. It is advisable to work on a soft surface and, if in doubt, to entrust the operation to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes. Any 14mm strap with slightly curved ends is compatible with the Navitimer RB01395A1B1P1.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, care and frequency of use. A quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, properly nourished with leather cream and rotated with other straps, can last between 3 and 5 years while retaining a presentable appearance. Prolonged exposure to perspiration and moisture is the primary cause of deterioration; it is advisable to dry the strap after intensive use.
