Strap for BR 01 Air Skull

The lug width of the BR0192-AIR-SKULL is 24 millimetres. This measurement is the distance between the lugs where the strap attaches to the case. It is essential to verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap, as an incorrect width would render the strap incompatible with the case. Milano Straps offers a complete selection of straps specifically sized for this lug width.

The choice of strap depends on the aesthetic you wish to emphasise and intended use. To enhance the industrial character and audacity of the design, dark vegetable-tanned leather straps (dark brown or black) with tonal stitching accentuate the squared geometry. For a more sophisticated pairing, alligator in natural or moka-brown tones creates contrast with the bronze. Rubber or NATO fabric straps maintain the sport and tactical identity of the model. The crucial element is selecting materials that will develop patina over time, parallel to the evolution of the case's bronze.

The BR-01 strap is secured to the case via spring bars (or pins) that pass through the case lugs. To change the strap, a specific tool (spring bar remover) is required, or you should consult a professional watchmaker. Since the case is bronze and the lugs have a squared geometry, care must be taken not to scratch the material. Milano Straps also offers an installation service in-store at Casati Milano atelier, where the change is performed with dedicated tools and manual expertise.

Any strap with a 24-millimetre lug width is compatible with the BR-01 AIR-SKULL. On milanostraps.it you will find a curated collection of straps in vegetable-tanned leather, alligator, shell cordovan, calf, NATO fabric and rubber—all available in the 24mm size. Compatibility is guaranteed, but aesthetic choice remains personal: we recommend evaluating colour contrast with the bronze and patina, as well as material texture relative to the case's industrial geometry.

Durability depends on leather quality, frequency of use and environmental conditions. A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, such as those offered by Milano Straps, maintains structural integrity for 3 to 5 years with daily wear. Alligator or shell cordovan straps, being denser and more resistant hides, can exceed 5 to 7 years. Casati Milano atelier offers an 18-month guarantee on bespoke straps, covering manufacturing defects and anomalous wear. Leather patina develops over time, harmonising with that of the case's bronze.
