Strap for Time Pyramid

The lug width of the 1TPAS.S01A.C124S is 20 millimetres. This measurement represents the internal distance between the two pins located on the lugs of the case. Any strap intended for this model must have precisely 20mm width for perfect fit and secure attachment.

The ideal strap depends on intended usage. For formal contexts, an alligator strap with vegetable tanning in dark brown honours the brand's English sartorial tradition and develops a rich patina over time. For robust daily wear, shell cordovan guarantees twenty-year durability without failure. For sport-tool styling, a slate-grey NATO maintains the collection's technical identity. Rubber represents the most functionally advanced solution for humid environments or professional work.

Strap change is executed by removing the side pins (spring bars) that connect the lugs to the case. Using a dedicated strap-change tool, apply gentle pressure to extract the pin from its housing. Once the pin is removed, the old strap detaches completely. The new 20mm strap is installed by inserting the opposite pin through the lug hole, then pushing the pin into the second housing until you hear the locking click. Avoid forcing to prevent damage to the internal spring.

Yes, a quality aftermarket strap constructed to the 20mm standard is entirely compatible. Milano Straps supplies artisanal straps crafted from premium materials—alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf, rubber—that equal or exceed OEM straps in construction quality. Choosing an aftermarket option allows you to diversify your watch's aesthetics whilst maintaining perfect mechanical compatibility.

A quality leather strap has variable durability based on material and usage. Vegetable-tanned alligator resists 7-10 years of intensive daily wear before requiring replacement. Vegetable-tanned calf guarantees 5-7 years. Shell cordovan, owing to its exceptionally high fibre density, can last 15-20 years even with frequent use. Lifespan extends further with regular maintenance: dry the strap after water contact and occasionally apply natural-based conditioner to significantly extend leather life.
