Strap for BR 123 Officer Silver

The lug width of the Bell & Ross Vintage BRG123WHSTSCR is 20 millimetres. This dimension is measured perpendicularly between the inner edge of one lug and the other, excluding the case thickness. Precise measurement is essential to ensure that the strap is compatible with the original lugs.

For the BRG123WHSTSCR we recommend three primary options: alligator with medium grain (formal elegance), vegetable-tanned calf (natural ageing and patina development), hi-density canvas NATO (sports and functional use). Your choice depends on context: alligator for formal occasions, calf for daily wear, NATO for dynamic environments.

To change the strap, you must remove the spring bars securing it to the case. Use a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) to compress the internal spring of the bar, extracting it gently. Once both bars are removed, align the new strap's holes with the lugs and reinsert the bars. Exercise caution to avoid damaging the case finish.

Any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the BRG123WHSTSCR. Online you will find a wide range of customisable straps in different materials: alligator, shell cordovan, calf, NATO canvas, rubber. The selection on milanostraps.it offers ready-made options and a bespoke personalisation service through the Casati Milano atelier.

A quality leather strap typically lasts 3–5 years of daily wear, varying depending on the material and care. Vegetable-tanned calf ages aesthetically whilst maintaining structural integrity, whilst alligator provides greater durability. The 18-month warranty from milanostraps.it covers manufacturing defects. Regular maintenance significantly extends the strap's lifespan.
