Strap for 1815 Chronograph Boutique Edition Pulsometer

The lug width of the 414.026 is precisely 20 mm, measured internally between the lug attachments on the case. This dimension is fixed and mandatory for third-party strap compatibility.

Alligator leather with vegetable tanning in warm cognac brown is the reference choice: it offers uniform grain, sophisticated ageing patina, and balanced chromatic contrast against the silver case. Alternatively, burgundy shell cordovan for dramatic effect, or calf for daily versatility.

Use a spring bar tool to gently extract the pin holding the strap to the case lugs. Insert the new strap ensuring the 20 mm lug width is exact, then reinsert the pin. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the silver lugs.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 20 mm and the material respects the case finish (avoiding abrasive synthetic rubbers). Artisanal straps such as those from MilanoStraps guarantee structural compatibility and construction quality equal to the timepiece.

A quality alligator strap lasts 3–5 years with regular daily wear. Shell cordovan resists beyond 7 years. Longevity depends on maintenance (avoid prolonged moisture), sun exposure, and rotation with other straps. MilanoStraps warranty covers 18 months against manufacturing defects.
