The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi All, New boy (well at 75 not quite a "boy" any more!) looking for help please. My faithful 10 year old Navitimer's (retirement present) leather strap has now given up and is in urgent need of replacement. Cost might be the big issue for me however I need to find out the following please if anybody can help?
1, Lug size width of my watch is 22cm exactly. Question; what size/code metal bracelet should I be looking for this 10 year old watch in order to keep it authentic?
2, I have seen some advertised at 22-20cm what does that mean?
3, Best (& cheapest) place to purchase in the UK?

Appreciate any help you can give please. Thanks for looking,
Harleyshot.

22-20 mm I think rather than centimetres.

22-20 means 22mm at the lugs tapering to 20mm at the buckle. For straps that's all you need, but for bracelets the end links are unique for the watch so to accurately answer your question we will need to know the model number from the back of the watch - will start with a letter, probably A. Also, if the watch hasn't been serviced in the 10 years since you got it then it is desperately in need of one!

There are two UK sponsor ADs - Andrew Michaels and Banks Lyon - contact details at the top of the page by clicking on their banner ads.
