Strap for Navitimer 1 B01 Chronograph 43 Stainless Steel / Red Gold / Grey / Croco / Folding

The Breitling Navitimer UB0121211F1P2 features a lug width of 22 mm. This measurement should be verified with a digital calliper across the space between the lugs at the spring bar attachment point. Adhering precisely to this dimension is essential for correct fitting and a clean aesthetic result.

For the Navitimer UB0121211F1P2 in stainless steel and red gold, an alligator leather strap with square-scale texture offers the strongest visual dialogue with the dense, modular layout of the dial. Vegetable-tanned calf leather develops a patina that complements the warmth of the red gold case. For sport use, vulcanised rubber maintains the technical character of the Calibre B01.

The strap is removed using a spring bar tool or fork-tip tool, releasing the spring bars between the lugs. It is advisable to work on a soft watch cushion to avoid case scratches. The original Breitling spring bars are standard diameter and are compatible with any aftermarket 22 mm strap with a straight end.

Yes. Any strap with a 22 mm attachment and straight end is compatible with the Navitimer UB0121211F1P2. milanostraps.it offers a selection of handcrafted leather, cordovan and rubber straps specifically sized for this lug width, in standard lengths of 120/75 mm or custom dimensions available through Casati Milano.

Lifespan depends on the leather type and conditions of use. A quality vegetable-tanned calf strap, maintained with periodic conditioning cream, typically lasts 2–4 years. Alligator leather, being more compact and surface-resistant to moisture, can reach 5–7 years. Avoiding prolonged contact with water and perspiration significantly extends service life. milanostraps.it provides an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
