The Altitude Premiere Classic by Alexandre Meerson is a 41mm titanium case watch featuring the proprietary AM-4808 movement, embodying contemporary independent French watchmaking.

Hours and minutes only, with satin-finished titanium construction and precise geometry reflecting intentional craftsmanship.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Alexandre Meerson Altitude Premiere 101PEIU?

The lug width of the Altitude Premiere 101PEIU is 20 millimetres. This dimension is determined by the proportion between the 41mm case diameter and the integrated bracelet architecture. It is essential to verify this measurement before ordering an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect compatibility with the case lugs.

What is the best strap for the Altitude Premiere 101PEIU?

The ideal strap depends on intended usage. For elevated elegance, we recommend vegetable-tanned alligator or shell cordovan, materials that evolve over time and enhance the satined surfaces of the titanium case. For daily versatility, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers comfort and natural patina development. For those seeking sporting character, a dense woven NATO maintains design coherence without compromise.

How do you change the strap on an Alexandre Meerson Altitude Premiere 101PEIU?

The Altitude Premiere uses a standard lug attachment system. To change the strap, gently push the spring bar release from one end to the other. Insert the new strap in the same direction, ensuring it is of the correct width (20mm). Verify that the strap is properly aligned with the case before fully securing it.

Which aftermarket straps are compatible with the 101PEIU?

All 20mm straps are compatible with the Altitude Premiere 101PEIU, provided they have the same internal width between the lugs. We recommend always verifying the technical specifications of the seller. Milano Straps offers high-quality straps in alligator, calf, NATO, and rubber, constructed with the precision required by this timepiece.

How long does a leather strap last on the Altitude Premiere 101PEIU?

Durability depends on material and usage. A high-quality alligator or calf strap with vegetable tanning can last 5-10 years with regular maintenance, though it will gradually darken acquiring patina. Lesser-quality materials may require replacement after 2-3 years. Rotating between multiple straps significantly extends the longevity of each.
