Hello all,

want to replace the strap on my Navitimer. I did a little research.. I just want to confirm that it is a 22mm/20mm that im after?

Thanks,

ideally 22/18, but hard to find, any 22/xx will fit.

Hi Watchfred. thanks for the quick reply.

I was probably going to get a hirsch calf strap.. Thanks for the info about 18mm though.

To be fully period correct , the right size for a 806 would be 22-16 .
22-18 was the standard size for modern Navitimers until 2006-2007 , and Breitling SA moved to 22-20 which is available now .
Personaly I think that a modern Breitling strap on a 806 is as anachronic as xenon headlights on a classic car .

yes, Phil - but 22/16 are almost impossible to find, hard enough w/ 18s - and late 60s and 70s B OEM straps were /18 ;)
