Strap for Navitimer B01 Chronograph 41 Red Gold - Diamond / White / Alligator

The lug width of the Breitling Navitimer RB0139631G1P1 is 22mm. This measurement is taken with a digital calliper between the inner edges of the lugs at the strap attachment point. It is a standard dimension across the current Navitimer generation, ensuring broad compatibility with quality aftermarket straps.

For the Red Gold version, the most appropriate choice is a vegetable-tanned alligator strap in Bordeaux, Cognac or dark Chocolate. The belly grain of alligator visually complements the complexity of the Navitimer dial, while the natural patina of vegetable tanning develops a chromatic depth consistent with the warm tones of rose gold. Shell cordovan is a refined alternative for those who prefer a dense, non-porous surface with a natural lustre.

The strap on the Navitimer RB0139631G1P1 is removed using a fine-tipped spring bar tool, inserted into the groove of the spring bar that secures the strap to the lugs. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the Red Gold case: work on a soft cloth and use a tool with a coated tip. The new 22mm strap is fitted by compressing the spring bar and snapping it into the lug holes.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm attachment width is technically compatible with the Navitimer RB0139631G1P1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted 22mm straps — in alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan and rubber — finished to standards suited to high-end chronographs. Compatibility refers to the lug width; it is also advisable to verify the taper and spring bar length against the original case.

A quality leather strap — alligator or vegetable-tanned calf — has an average lifespan of 2 to 4 years with regular wear, depending on exposure to perspiration, water and UV light. Vegetable-tanned leather tends to develop patina and stiffen over time if left untreated; periodic conditioning with a natural wax-based cream significantly extends the strap's life. Alternating between straps is the most effective way to preserve structural integrity.
