Strap for Navitimer Automatic 41 Automatic Stainless Steel / Rose Gold / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of the Breitling Navitimer U17326211G1A1 is 22mm. This measurement must be taken internally between the two lug shoulders using a millimetre calliper, and represents the correct specification for selecting a compatible strap.

For the rose gold and stainless steel bicolour version, a glossy alligator strap in chocolate brown or cognac enhances the precious tone of the case. Alternatively, an aviateur-grain calf strap in tobacco tones references the Navitimer's aeronautical heritage. For sporting use, black vulcanised rubber provides durability without compromising the instrument character of the watch.

The strap on the Navitimer U17326211G1A1 is replaced using a springbar tool, a forked-tip instrument that compresses the ends of the spring bars fitted into the lugs. Care should be taken not to scratch the rose gold lug surfaces: protecting the case with masking tape during the operation is recommended. Alternatively, our Casati Milano craftsmen perform strap changes by appointment.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm attachment width is technically compatible with the Navitimer U17326211G1A1. Milano Straps offers a selection of Italian handcrafted straps in 22mm, with materials and finishes selected specifically to complement the bicolour case of this Breitling reference.

Longevity depends on the material and conditions of use. A vegetable-tanned calf leather strap, if not frequently exposed to water or perspiration, retains its structural and aesthetic quality for 2–4 years with routine maintenance. A high-quality alligator strap can last considerably longer. Milano Straps straps include an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
