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

The Breitling Navitimer U17326211M1U1 features a lug width of 22 mm. This measurement should be taken internally between the two lugs using a millimetre calliper to ensure the chosen strap fits without forcing the spring bars.

For the rose gold and stainless steel variant, a hand-stitched alligator strap with a natural grain finish is the most coherent choice to complement the precious case materials. A vegetable-tanned calf leather strap develops a natural patina over time and suits daily wear. For sportier occasions, a ballistic nylon NATO or vulcanised rubber strap offers durability and ease of use.

The strap is removed using a spring bar tool with a flat or forked tip, inserted into the side hole of the lug to compress the spring bar. The operation requires no specialist tools but should be performed carefully to avoid scratching the rose gold lugs. It is advisable to rest the dial face-down on a soft cloth during the swap.

Yes, any strap with a 22 mm lug width is compatible with the Navitimer U17326211M1U1. MilanoStraps offers a curated selection of aftermarket straps in alligator, vegetable-tanned calf leather, NATO nylon and rubber, all sized at 22 mm and available with or without a deployant clasp.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on hide quality, frequency of use and how well the strap is maintained. A quality vegetable-tanned calf strap, kept away from excessive perspiration and moisture, typically lasts between 2 and 4 years with regular wear. High-grade alligator straps, properly cared for, can comfortably exceed 4 to 5 years. MilanoStraps straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
