Strap for Navitimer 1 Chronograph 41 Stainless Steel / Red Gold / Silver / Croco / Pin

The lug width of the Breitling Navitimer U13324211G1X1 is 22mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lower lugs of the case and determines compatibility with any aftermarket strap. To verify it on your own piece, a digital calliper placed directly against the lugs is recommended.

For the Navitimer U13324211G1X1 in bi-colour red gold and stainless steel, a vegetable-tanned alligator strap in cognac or tobacco tones offers the most coherent pairing with the case's material character. Alternatively, smooth black or dark grey calfskin provides restraint for formal contexts. A deployant clasp in brushed steel or red gold PVD completes the fastening system harmoniously.

To replace the strap on the Navitimer U13324211G1X1, a spring bar tool is required. Insert the lever tip into the slot between the lug and the strap loop to compress the spring bars. This can be done independently with proper tools, but entrusting the operation to a watchmaker or specialist atelier is advisable to avoid scratching the red gold case.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm lug width and standard length of 120/75mm is compatible with the Navitimer U13324211G1X1. milanostraps.it offers a curated selection of handcrafted 22mm straps in alligator leather, vegetable-tanned calfskin, shell cordovan and vulcanised rubber, all supplied with stainless steel spring bars.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning, frequency of use and maintenance. A high-quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, conditioned regularly and kept away from moisture, typically lasts 3 to 5 years with daily wear. The patina it develops over time enhances its aesthetic character. CITES-certified alligator straps with vegetable tanning achieve longer lifespans when properly maintained.
