Breitling
Navitimer A17395161C1P1— lug 18mm

The lug width of the Breitling Navitimer A17395161C1P1 is 18 mm. This measurement is taken with a digital calliper positioned inside the two lugs of the 35 mm case. All 18 mm straps available on milanostraps.it are fully compatible with this reference.

For the 35 mm Navitimer A17395161C1P1, a vegetable-tanned calf leather strap in Tuscan grain is the most balanced choice: its fine texture does not compete with the complexity of the dial, and the softness suits the modest case mass. For more formal contexts, alligator leather with symmetrical belly scales adds structure and natural lustre. A nylon NATO strap echoes the aeronautical heritage inherent to the model.

To replace the strap on the Navitimer A17395161C1P1, a fine-tipped springbar tool is required. Insert the tip into the springbar slot on the lug, compress the spring, and slide the strap free. The operation is reversible without specialist tools and does not require a watchmaker. It is advisable to rest the case on a soft cloth to avoid scratching the polished surfaces.

Yes. Any strap with an 18 mm lug width is technically compatible with the Navitimer A17395161C1P1. milanostraps.it offers a selection of handcrafted straps in leather, alligator, calf, and NATO specifically tested for this width. For the best fit to the curved lug geometry typical of Breitling cases, pre-curved or shaped-end straps are recommended.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, frequency of wear, and exposure to perspiration and moisture. A quality vegetable-tanned calf leather strap worn regularly retains structural and aesthetic integrity for 2–4 years. Alligator leather, being denser and less porous, can last well beyond 5 years with proper care. Casati Milano provides an 18-month guarantee on manufacturing defects for all its straps.
