Strap for BR S White Ceramic Phantom

The lug width (or lug-to-lug distance) of the BRSWHCPHSCE is 20 millimetres. This dimension is determined by the case geometry and represents the exact distance between the two lateral lugs where the strap is secured. It is essential to verify this measurement before ordering, as an incompatible strap will not fit correctly into the attachment points.

For the BRSWHCPHSCE we recommend robust, functional materials: alligator with vegetable tanning in slate grey, Italian calf in white or grey, or shell cordovan for those seeking a more substantial solution. For sports use, a NATO textile strap in heavy canvas maintains the instrument-oriented philosophy of the model. Avoid delicate materials such as suede or nubuck, which are incompatible with the austere aesthetic of the ceramic case.

You will need two tools: a compressed air blower or a blunt, thin screwdriver and a plastic hammer. Position the watch on a soft surface (cloth). Orient the screwdriver parallel to the case lug pin, insert it into the lateral spaces of the lug, then gently strike with the hammer to push the pin outward. Once the strap is removed, insert the new one by aligning the side holes with the case pins, then strike the pin until fully seated. This is a delicate operation; if uncertain, entrust the task to a professional watchmaker.

Yes, all 20mm straps are compatible with the BRSWHCPHSCE, provided the lug width is exactly as specified. Milano Straps offers aftermarket straps in various leathers and finishes, customisable according to colour and thread preferences. The important thing is to verify lug width compatibility before ordering.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and usage. High-quality vegetable-tanned alligator typically lasts 3–5 years with regular daily wear. Shell cordovan, due to its density and structure, can exceed 5–7 years. Leather naturally wears from friction and humidity; a natural patina that darkens over time is a sign of authenticity and mindful ownership. Milano Straps offers an 18-month guarantee on all straps crafted at the Casati Milano atelier.
