I always thought the navitimer 01 (43mm) came with a black calf strap with white stitching and a tang buckle, but I watched a video of an unboxing which has me confused: is there a possibility of the watch coming on deployant (even if for more money)?

Here is the video, you can see the deployant at around 1:55 and onwards.

It can come on any strap you want it to come on. Breitlings are sold with whatever combination the buyer wants.

I see. So that guy must have customized his purchase with the regular calf strap but switched the tang for deployant.

Yes, very common. Many times, the watch head and bracelet/strap are priced separately at the dealer.

I think that combo in the video looks great!

Yes ofcourse with added $.

I have an 01 that came on the bracelet but I also bought a croc strap and deployant. You can get whatever you want on the watch and change it up yourself with a spring bar tool.

Great pics of the LE Navi!

My original question was more aimed at finding out if the deployant could be an "OEM" option for the watch with the calf strap. No doubt we can buy a bracelet, strap or deployant afterwards to fit the watch, but it seemed to me that BNIB watches purchased on the calf strap would only come with a tang buckle.

I believe if you're at an AD, you can order any strap-buckle combination you want. It's definitely that way at the boutique. These price will depend upon what you ask for. For example, even if you're considering the same material e.g. calf but want a deployant, it will be more expensive because that buckle costs considerably more than the tang buckle, and they have to fit it with a deployant strap (the type without holes).
