Strap for Navitimer 1 Chronograph 41 Stainless Steel / Red Gold / Black / Bracelet

The Breitling Navitimer U13324211B1A1 has a lug width of 22mm. This measurement is taken between the two lugs at the narrowest point of the strap attachment, and is the specification required to select a compatible strap.

For the two-tone steel and rose gold variant, a belly-cut alligator strap in Havana brown or a vegetable-tanned calfskin strap are the most appropriate choices. For sport or operational use, vulcanised rubber offers durability and ease of maintenance. A rose gold deployant clasp completes the pairing with the case finish.

To replace the strap, use a fine-tipped spring bar tool of 1.8mm, compatible with Breitling 22mm spring bars. Insert the tool into the lateral lug slot, compress the spring bar and slide out the strap. Take care not to scratch the rose gold surfaces. If in doubt, consult a watchmaker or the Casati Milano service.

Yes. Aftermarket straps with a 22mm lug width and straight or slightly curved tail are compatible with the Navitimer U13324211B1A1. Verify that the spring bar is rated at 22mm and that the strap thickness at the lug area does not exceed standard Breitling tolerances to ensure correct fitting without stress on the lugs.

A quality leather strap — vegetable-tanned calfskin or alligator — under daily use typically lasts between 18 and 36 months, depending on perspiration, water exposure and maintenance. Regular application of a neutral leather conditioner and rotating between straps will significantly extend service life. Milano Straps products carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
