Strap for BR-01 Laughing Skull

The lug width of the BR01-SKULL-SK-FLD is 24mm, a special aviator-standard measurement that perfectly proportions the strap to the 46mm case diameter. You can verify this by measuring the internal distance between the two lugs with a calliper.

For the BR01-SKULL-SK-FLD, we recommend dark brown alligator for formal and classical applications, or vegetable-tanned calf for daily wear with natural patina development. For operational use, bromide rubber maintains the avionic philosophy. Cotton NATO is ideal for versatility without compromising military aesthetic.

The BR01-SKULL-SK-FLD uses a standard spring bar system. Remove the upper and lower spring bar on each side using a spring bar tool, disengaging the old strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the spring bars, then snap the bars into their seats. A watchmaker is not required if you have the correct tool.

Yes, any strap with a 24mm lug width is completely compatible with the BR01-SKULL-SK-FLD. Always verify the lug width of your chosen strap before purchase. Milano Straps offers a wide range of personalizable 24mm straps in precious leather.

Durability depends on material and usage. A high-quality alligator or calf strap, worn daily with routine maintenance (periodic cleaning and conditioning with specialist creams), lasts 3-5 years. With moderate use and proper storage, it can reach 7-10 years before replacement is needed. Casati Milano straps include an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
