Strap for Navitimer 1 38 Automatic Stainless Steel / Red Gold / Silver / Croco / Folding

The lug width of the Breitling Navitimer U17325211G1P2 is 20mm. This measurement is taken between the two case lugs using a digital calliper, positioned inside the spring bar slots. A 20mm strap is the correct size for this reference.

For the Navitimer U17325211G1P2 in red gold and steel, alligator straps in bordeaux or cognac are the most coherent choice, complementing the warm tones of the red gold. Alternatively, a vegetable-tanned calf strap in havana offers formal restraint with a patina that develops naturally over time. For a sharper contrast, black shell cordovan is well suited to evening wear.

To replace the strap on a Breitling Navitimer, use a dedicated springbar tool to release the spring bars from the lug slots, working carefully to avoid scratching the case. Always operate on a soft surface. For red gold models such as the U17325211G1P2, it is advisable to entrust the operation to a qualified watchmaker or to the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes, any 20mm strap is compatible with the Breitling Navitimer U17325211G1P2, provided the overall length and lug end shape (straight or curved) suit the case correctly. Milanostraps.it offers a curated selection of handcrafted 20mm straps in various materials, available ready to ship or made to order through the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, the quality of the tanning, and daily use. A high-quality alligator strap with vegetable tanning and artisanal finishing can last between three and seven years with ordinary care. Prolonged exposure to water, perspiration, and direct sunlight will shorten its life considerably. Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
