New bracelet on Navi
Switched out the croc strap after five years. I really like the way this looks and feels.

Breitling have always made nice bracelets, and the modern Navitimer bracelet is one of the best. I particularly like the way it reflect light because each segment is polished separately, and it’s also a great way to tell if it has been polished incorrectly.

The "Beads of Rice" bracelet is classic. I have the same Navi as yours and swap out to the bracelet in the summer to preserve the croc strap and back to the croc strap in the winter where sweat is no concern. The bracelet is very comfortable too. Enjoy!

If the OP has acquired an original, it is a Breitling Navitimer bracelet, and it’s a perfect fit because it was specifically designed by Breitling for that watch. I've never actually heard it referred to as a 'beads of rice' bracelet, but I guess in a generic sense, that pretty much what it is. |

Looks really good on the bracelet!!! It really sets the navitimer apart from all the others on a strap not to mention the bump in value it gives it. Looks really good on a strap too though... mine just came on a bracelet, I’ll be looking to source a strap to see what it’s all about. Cheers! |

The croc strap is very nice, but my first one fell apart after two years wearing it every day in the Houston climate. I got another one (reluctantly) but by that time had more watches in the rotation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
