FAQ
What is the lug width of the Breitling Navitimer R17327211A1P1?
The Breitling Navitimer R17327211A1P1, the 36mm red gold variant, features an 18mm lug width. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs where the strap is fitted. Before purchasing a replacement strap, it is advisable to verify the measurement with a millimetre calliper to account for any production tolerances.
What is the best strap for the Breitling Navitimer R17327211A1P1?
For the Navitimer R17327211A1P1 in 18k red gold, the most suitable strap is a vegetable-tanned alligator in cognac, dark brown or bordeaux. The belly grain of the alligator leather complements the polished surface of the red gold case with formal coherence. Alternatively, a whisky-toned shell cordovan or a smooth moss green calf strap offer character without undermining the instrument watch identity of the Navitimer.
How do I change the strap on a Breitling Navitimer R17327211A1P1?
To replace the strap on the Navitimer R17327211A1P1, you will need a spring bar tool or a fine flat-head screwdriver. Insert the tip into the hole of the spring bar located at the lug and compress laterally to release the strap. Take care not to scratch the red gold case: protect the lugs with a soft cloth and, if you are unfamiliar with the process, have it carried out by a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.
Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breitling Navitimer R17327211A1P1?
Yes, a wide range of aftermarket straps are available for the Navitimer R17327211A1P1, all featuring an 18mm lug width. Milano Straps offers an artisan selection in alligator, calf and cordovan leather with buckles in various metals, including a red gold deployant clasp option for chromatic consistency with the case. All straps are fitted with soft calf leather linings for optimum wrist comfort.
How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Navitimer R17327211A1P1?
The lifespan of a leather strap on the Navitimer R17327211A1P1 depends on the material, frequency of use and level of care. A quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, kept away from water, excessive perspiration and heat sources, can last between three and seven years while retaining its structural and aesthetic integrity. Shell cordovan straps tend to develop a natural patina over time that improves their appearance. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
