Strap for Militare Automatic Stainless Steel / Cream / Leather

The lug width is 22mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the two attaching lugs on the case. To verify compatibility of an aftermarket strap, measure the space between the case's lateral holes: it must be exactly 22mm to ensure correct fit and maintain the watch's intended ergonomics.

It depends on intended use and style. For formal applications, we recommend alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather, which create an elegant contrast with the stainless steel case. For tactical or sports use, choose NATO straps in ballistic nylon or vulcanised synthetic rubber, guaranteeing total water resistance and consistent thermal comfort. Each material choice modulates the watch's aesthetic identity.

The watch features an integrated lug: you need only remove the vertical spring bars connecting the strap to the case using a proper tool (spring bar tool). Ensure the new strap has a 22mm lug width and that the lugs are compatible with the case geometry. If unsure, consult a professional.

All straps with a 22mm lug width are compatible, provided the lugs are structured to adapt to the case's integrated attachment points. We recommend straps with straight or open-ended lugs, which facilitate seating on the spring bars. Visit our 22mm strap section to explore options in alligator, calf, NATO, and rubber.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, worn daily on a tactical watch such as the AM-1021.01.001.A02, has an average lifespan of 3-5 years. This depends on environmental humidity, personal perspiration, and maintenance. An alligator strap tends to last longer thanks to the leather's natural durability. NATO and rubber, conversely, have indefinite lifespans but require periodic cleaning.
