FAQ
What is the lug width of the Breitling Navitimer A17327381B1A1?
The lug width of the Breitling Navitimer A17327381B1A1 is 18mm. This measurement is taken internally between the two lugs of the case using a digital calliper and is the critical parameter for strap compatibility.
What is the best strap for the Breitling Navitimer 36mm?
For the 36mm stainless steel Navitimer, a vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather strap in honey or cognac tones is the most coherent choice given the dial's vintage aesthetic. Alternatively, a glossy alligator strap elevates the watch towards a dressier register, whilst a NATO nylon or vulcanised rubber strap suits more active wear.
How do I change the strap on the Breitling Navitimer A17327381B1A1?
Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool. Insert the forked tip into the lug hole to compress the spring bar, slide the strap free, then fit the new strap with the spring bars pre-loaded. Always work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the stainless steel case.
Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Navitimer A17327381B1A1?
Yes. Any strap with an 18mm lug width is technically compatible with the Navitimer A17327381B1A1. Milanostraps.it offers a curated selection of handcrafted 18mm straps in leather, alligator, shell cordovan and rubber, designed to fit correctly on Breitling's characteristically curved lugs.
How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Navitimer?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on tanning quality, frequency of wear and care routine. A vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather strap, kept away from prolonged moisture and conditioned periodically, typically lasts 2–4 years with regular use. Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
