Finished in stainless steel with a green sunburst dial, this Breitling Navitimer Automatic 41 replica represents one of the more distinctive entries in the current Navitimer catalog. Reference A17329371L1P1 pairs the steel case with a green alligator leather strap, creating a tone-on-tone color combination that sets it apart from the more common blue-dial variants. Breitling delivers this reference on a black alligator strap, so the matching green strap here is a factory variant. At 41mm with a time-and-date layout, this Navitimer trades chronograph complexity for refined simplicity. For the wider strap question, see our notes on strap or bracelet on a Navitimer.

How the Green Sunburst Changes with the Light

Green sunburst dials shift dramatically under changing light, moving from deep forest tones indoors to a brighter emerald in direct sunlight. The silver-tone indices and hands stay crisp against the green, and the red-tipped seconds hand adds the only warm accent on the dial, which keeps it looking clean rather than busy.

Clone Cal. Breitling 17 Behind the Green Dial

Like other 41mm Navitimer time-only references, this A17329371L1P1 carries an automatic caliber with date function and no chronograph: a clone Cal. Breitling 17, with about 36 hours of power reserve where the genuine calibre gives 38. Removing the sub-dials opens up the green surface entirely, letting the sunburst finish work without interruption. Green on steel is a less common sight than the black, silver and blue Navitimers, which gives it a different presence in any rotation. The A17395361L1P1 in 35mm shares the green-dial concept but scales it down for smaller wrists with a crocodile strap. For the full breadth of available references, the Navitimer range covers steel and gold-tone versions in case sizes from 35 to 46 mm.

Breitling Navitimer Automatic 41 Replica in Green and Steel

Green on steel makes this reference a deliberate departure from the typical silver-or-blue Navitimer formula, and the matching green strap takes it further than Breitling’s own black alligator does. The alligator strap reinforces the dressy character, and the absence of chronograph pushers gives the case flanks a smooth, uncluttered profile. Owners of a steel chronograph Navitimer sometimes add a time-only variant with a colored dial as a complement rather than a replacement. A green dial brings that kind of color distinction to a watch box without duplicating what a black or silver steel reference already covers. If the green strap ever feels too loud, a plain black or brown alligator strap turns the same watch into a quieter office piece in a minute.
