Strap for Digitrend Take-Off Edition

The lug width of the Amida Digitrend D-AM01 is 22mm. This standard, typical of 1970s–80s watches, allows for a wide range of compatible straps. Always measure the internal spacing between the two lugs to confirm your replacement strap's exact compatibility.

For the D-AM01, we recommend straps in alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather in dark brown or black tones: they enhance the stainless steel case's elegance and the innovation of the Amida caliber P092-AMIDA movement. Alternatively, a cotton-polyester NATO or rubber diver strap maintains vintage authenticity with modern practicality.

To change the strap, use a spring bar tool to gently open the elastic pin of the lugs. Insert the tool's fork into the small hole beneath the lug, push outward, and slide the pin out of its seat. Repeat on the other side, then insert the new strap, aligning its ends, and close the pins with precision.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible with the Digitrend D-AM01. Quality aftermarket options in natural leather or NATO offer aesthetic versatility and durability. Always verify that the internal width is exactly 22mm to avoid lateral play or strain on the lugs.

A quality leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 3–5 years with regular daily wear. Longevity depends on UV exposure, humidity, and cleaning frequency. Periodic maintenance with specialised balm significantly extends the leather's useful life.
