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

The lug width of the Breitling Navitimer U17326211G1U1 is 22 mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs of the case and determines the compatible strap width. It is essential to measure the lug width with a calliper before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

For the Navitimer U17326211G1U1 in steel and rose gold, the most suitable straps are square-grain alligator in cognac or tobacco tones, or vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather that develops a distinguished patina over time. Both options complement the warm reflections of the rose gold case whilst respecting the instrument's aeronautical heritage.

To replace the strap on the Navitimer U17326211G1U1, a spring bar tool is required. The spring bars are released by gently leveraging inside the lug. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the two-tone steel and rose gold case. If in doubt, consult a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes, any strap with a 22 mm width is compatible with the Navitimer U17326211G1U1. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted 22 mm straps in various materials — alligator leather, vegetable-tanned leather, nylon NATO, and rubber — all produced to a standard commensurate with the watch itself.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality and daily care. A high-grade vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather strap, regularly treated with nourishing cream and kept away from excessive moisture, can last between 3 and 7 years whilst developing a fine patina. Milano Straps handcrafted straps carry an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
