Strap for Clifton Quartz Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The Baume & Mercier Clifton 10175 features a lug width of 20mm, measured from the inside edges of the lugs on the case. This measurement is specific to this model and ensures harmonious proportions between the 30mm case and the strap.

For the Clifton 10175, alligator straps in black or cognac brown are ideal for formal contexts, vegetable-tanned calf leather for daily use with developing patina, or shell cordovan for those seeking structured material. Your choice depends on intended use and personal colour preferences.

Strap removal involves extracting the spring bars (lug pins) from the case lugs. Use a dedicated removal tool or a thin flat blade, insert it into the pin, then extract the strap. Insert the new strap by sliding the spring bars through the lugs until you feel them click into place.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Clifton 10175. Artisanal-quality straps made from alligator, calf leather, or shell cordovan significantly enhance aesthetics and perceived luxury compared to standard factory-supplied straps.

A high-quality leather strap, such as those in alligator or vegetable-tanned shell cordovan, typically lasts 5 to 10 years with proper maintenance (regular cleaning and moisture protection). The natural patina that develops enriches the strap over time. Durability depends on daily use and climatic conditions.
