FAQ
What is the lug width of the Breitling Navitimer A17395161C1A1?
The Breitling Navitimer A17395161C1A1 has a lug width of 18mm. This measurement should be taken at the narrowest point between the lugs using a millimetre ruler, and corresponds to the nominal width of the replacement strap.
What is the best strap for the Breitling Navitimer A17395161C1A1?
For the 35mm Navitimer, the most suitable materials are vegetable-tanned calf leather, which develops a natural patina with wear, matte alligator for a formal register, and fine-weave nylon NATO for an aeronautical reference. The choice depends on intended use and chromatic pairing with the dial.
How do I change the strap on the Breitling Navitimer A17395161C1A1?
The strap is replaced by acting on the spring bars connecting it to the case lugs. A forked spring bar tool is required to compress and release the bars. On a 35mm case with 18mm lugs, precision tools are strongly recommended to avoid scratching the steel finishing.
Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Navitimer A17395161C1A1?
Yes. Any strap with an 18mm attachment width is technically compatible with the Navitimer A17395161C1A1. Milanostraps.it offers a dedicated selection of handcrafted 18mm straps in various materials and finishes, proportioned to suit this specific model.
How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Navitimer?
Longevity depends on the material and frequency of use. A quality vegetable-tanned calf strap, regularly conditioned with leather cream, maintains its structural integrity for 2–4 years of daily wear. Alligator, due to its denser fibre structure, tends to last longer. Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
