FAQ
What is the lug width of the Breitling Navitimer U17395211A1P1?
The Breitling Navitimer U17395211A1P1 has a lug width of 18mm. This is the nominal measurement taken with a digital calliper positioned between the two lugs at the point where they meet the case. Any strap with an 18mm attachment is compatible with this reference.
What is the best strap for the Breitling Navitimer 35mm?
For the 35mm stainless steel Navitimer, the most coherent options are: a nylon NATO strap to enhance its aviation and tool-watch character, an alligator hornback grain strap for a formal register, or a vegetable-tanned calfskin strap with natural patina for everyday versatility. Recommended closure: a stainless steel pin buckle or a butterfly deployant clasp.
How do you change the strap on a Breitling Navitimer U17395211A1P1?
Strap replacement is carried out via the spring bars fitted in the lugs. A double-ended spring bar tool is used to compress the bars and slide out the existing strap. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the case. Standard 18mm spring bars are compatible with this model.
Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Navitimer U17395211A1P1?
Yes. Any strap with an 18mm attachment and straight end is compatible with the Navitimer U17395211A1P1. Milanostraps.it offers a wide selection of handcrafted 18mm straps in various leathers, finishes and colours, all verified for compatibility with Breitling Navitimer cases.
How long does a leather strap last on a Breitling Navitimer?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the hide, the tanning process and daily use. A quality vegetable-tanned calfskin strap lasts on average 2–4 years with regular wear. Shell cordovan, owing to its dense fibre structure, can exceed 5 years. Alligator, properly maintained, offers comparable longevity. Casati Milano provides an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects on all straps.
