Strap for Air Command Stainless Steel / Black / Strap

The lug width of the Blancpain Spécialités AC01-1130-63A is 22mm, measured from the inside of one lug pin to the inside of the other. When ordering a strap, ensure the lugs are machined to the tolerance 22.00 ± 0.10mm to guarantee a perfect fit without any lateral play that could compromise the case or strap over time.

The Blancpain Spécialités AC01-1130-63A pairs excellently with straps in dark brown or black alligator, burgundy or cognac vegetable-tanned calf, or shell cordovan. For sportier use cases, rubber or NATO fabric straps in navy blue or black maintain stylistic coherence. The choice depends on your primary use case and preference between natural and synthetic materials.

To change the strap, use a spring bar tool. Insert the tip into the lateral groove of the upper lug to release the spring pin, then repeat for the lower lug. The old strap will slide off easily. Align the new strap with one lug first, then push the spring pin until it clicks into place. Avoid forcing—the pins should snap home naturally, and the strap should sit flush against the case.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible with the Blancpain Spécialités AC01-1130-63A. You have dozens of options in leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), rubber, fabric, and steel. The critical requirement is that the lugs are constructed to the tolerance 22.00 ± 0.10mm. At milanostraps.it, you'll find a carefully curated selection of 22mm straps for this model.

A leather strap's lifespan depends on the material, tanning method, and usage. High-quality alligator or shell cordovan with vegetable tanning can last 5–10 years with regular wear and basic maintenance (periodic cleaning, protection from prolonged humidity). Vegetable-tanned calf typically lasts 3–7 years. A rubber strap lasts 10+ years with minimal degradation. Casati Milano's 18-month warranty covers manufacturing defects; normal wear is natural and inevitable.
