The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I'm going to be in Caribbean for next year or two, and sold my all other watches except my navitimer world.
it was my first high end watch i bought myself, and indeed my favorite piece than my old IWC, Baume, Tag etc.
I am looking for 24mm rubber strap, as my watch will be worn everyday
what do you recommend? anyone wearing navi world with rubber strap?

Well it's completely up to you but I personally don't think rubber and Navitimers works well. I'm also not sure that rubber is the best daily option for the Caribbean, but if you go that route probably the OR as it will allow your arm to breathe better.

I have the navitimer bracelet, and two straps that share a deployant. For the heat, IMO there's nothing better than the navitimer bracelet

Each to their own, but I agree that for heat & humidity, there's nothing better than the bracelets.
Rubber is great for swimming & shorter term wear, but makes you sweat more in the long run. Leather / crock options usually get most wear from me in the winter months.
Good luck!

I'd go a Tropical or Drivers strap, either in PU or leather. I have so much trouble personally with a bracelet in the heat, depending on temperature of course, that I try and stay away from them. I find metal bracelets get hot in the sun and are uncomfortable for that hot feeling on your wrist. But that's just me and it depends on the amount of sun and the humidity you expect.

I also have a Kodiak leather strap (with tiny pin holes through the leather) from the tanning process. They definitely work in summer for me. Very comfortable as they breathe better than other leathers and less moisture build up.

Enjoy your time in the Caribbean.

I just picked up a new Breitling rubber strap 24/20 I put it on super avenger for a few days, definately makes me sweaty on the wrist, went back to the croc, I also love the stainless on my navi worlds

For me, Navi does not mix with rubber which is more associated with a diving watch and the Navi should stay as far away from water as possible.
For the Caribbean my first choice would be the Navi bracelet too.
