Strap for BR 03 90 Rose Gold

Changing the strap on the BR-03 requires the removal of the metal pins (spring bars) that connect the strap to the case. Use a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) or a thin screwdriver to gently push the pins inward, remove the old strap and insert the new one. This operation is recommended at a professional watchmaker.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, frequency of use and maintenance. A vegetable-tanned calf leather used daily typically lasts 18-24 months before showing significant wear. Shell cordovan, being thicker and more resilient, can last 3-4 years. Leather regularly treated with natural linseed oil ages better.
