Strap for Skeleton Pure Air

The lug width of the TI15-PA.RH model is 20mm. This standard specification allows for a wide range of aftermarket strap options, from formal leather to sporty NATO straps, whilst maintaining balanced proportions on the 43.40mm case.

To enhance the transparent architecture of the visible movement, black or dark brown leather straps with vegetable tanning, or structured alligator grain, are ideal. Alternatively, anthracite-grey or black NATO straps maintain the technical character of the stainless steel case. Black FKM rubber accentuates the hi-tech aspect without detracting from the visible calibre.

The strap is replaced by unscrewing the lug pins (attachment bar) using a small Phillips screwdriver or dedicated spring bar tool. Place the watch on a soft surface, unscrew gently, remove the worn strap, insert the new one aligning the holes, and re-tighten with uniform pressure. Avoid excessive torque to prevent case damage.

Yes. The standard 20mm lug width ensures complete compatibility with quality aftermarket straps: leather, vegetable-tanned leather, shell cordovan, alligator, technical rubber, and NATO. Select attachment thicknesses consistent with the case (approximately 1.8-2mm) for a precise and silent fit between the lugs.

A quality leather strap, with vegetable tanning, resists 18-36 months if worn daily, with variability depending on climate and frequency of use. Leather develops natural patina, micro-cracks and predictable creasing. Shell cordovan and alligator last longer (36-48 months) due to structural density. NATO and FKM rubber straps last 24-48 months without visible aesthetic degradation.
