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

The Breitling Navitimer U13324211B1X2 features a 22mm lug width. This measurement is consistent across the 41mm Navitimer line and ensures broad compatibility with quality aftermarket straps in various materials and finishes.

For the Navitimer U13324211B1X2 in Red Gold and stainless steel, a polished alligator strap in cognac or dark havana complements the warm tones of the red gold beautifully. Vegetable-tanned calfskin in taupe or slate grey accentuates the technical character, whilst vulcanised rubber is the most practical choice for daily wear.

The strap is replaced using a springbar tool to release the spring bars securing the strap to the 22mm lugs. The process takes approximately two minutes and does not require a watchmaker, provided the correct tool is used and care is taken to avoid scratching the Red Gold lug surfaces.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm lug width is technically compatible with the Navitimer U13324211B1X2. Milanostraps.it offers a curated selection of handcrafted straps in alligator, calfskin, NATO and rubber, tailored to this class of timepiece, with tapering options and deployant clasp configurations available.

Longevity depends on the material and usage pattern. A quality alligator or shell cordovan strap, properly maintained and rotated regularly, can last between three and five years. Vegetable-tanned calfskin develops a characteristic patina over time but is more susceptible to moisture. For intensive daily or sporting use, vulcanised rubber offers the greatest durability.
