Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Alexandre Meerson Altitude Première 101PEKT?

The lug width of the 101PEKT is 20mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the two lugs where the strap attaches. It is a specific, non-standard dimension that requires dedicated straps to ensure proper fit and stable wearability.

What is the best strap for the Altitude Première 101PEKT?

It depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For refined elegance: shell cordovan or vegetable-tanned calf leather. For sporty versatility: NATO nylon or FKM rubber. The titanium case naturally pairs with materials featuring pronounced texture, which dialogue with the segnatempo's geometric surfaces.

How do I change the strap on my Alexandre Meerson?

Remove the spring bars from the original strap using a small tool or precision screwdriver. Insert the bars into the new strap's lug holes, ensuring perfect alignment and confirming the 20mm measurement. If the strap features a deployante, engage the mechanism with the lugs. Perform manual strength testing before wear.

Can I use an aftermarket strap on this watch?

Yes, provided it is dimensioned for a 20mm lug width. Artisanal aftermarket straps often deliver superior quality compared to originals: greater leather density, precision finishing, and bespoke colour customisation. Milano Straps offers 20mm straps in leather, NATO, and rubber, ready for installation.

How long does a leather strap last before replacement is needed?

A high-quality strap with vegetable tanning and artisanal construction lasts approximately 5–10 years under daily wear, developing a progressive patina that enriches its character. Durability depends on environment (humidity), frequency of use, and maintenance protocol. NATO straps tend to last longer due to nylon ballistic's inherent resistance properties.
