Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Arnold & Son Instrument Collection 1ATAR.L01A.C120A?
The lug width is 20mm, measured centre to centre between the attachment pins. This dimension is specific to this model and is the fundamental parameter for selecting compatible straps.
Which strap do you recommend for the Arnold & Son Instrument Collection?
We recommend an alligator in vegetable tanning (dark brown or mahogany) to enhance the rose gold and aesthetic transparency of the case. Alternatively, robust English calf leather offers contemporary elegance with patina development parallel to the rose gold. For versatility, a canvas NATO in quality construction ensures durability without compromise.
How do you change the strap on a watch with a 20mm lug width?
Use a spring bar tool to remove the pressure spring from the lateral pins of the case. Gently extract the old strap, then insert the new one by aligning one end on the pin first, pressing the spring and threading the other end. Verify that the strap is securely fastened before wearing the watch.
Are aftermarket straps compatible with the 1ATAR.L01A.C120A?
Yes, any strap with 20mm lug width is compatible. Milano Straps offers a specialised collection of artisanal 20mm straps, crafted from manufacturing-quality materials (alligator, calf, vegetable tanning, NATO) suited to your Arnold & Son's excellence.
How long does a leather strap last on the Arnold & Son Instrument Collection?
A quality leather strap (alligator or calf with vegetable tanning) lasts 3–5 years with regular daily wear. Longevity depends on rotation of use, climate, and maintenance. Milano Straps offers replacement and regeneration services to extend the life of your straps.
