Strap for Oracle Team USA Regatta Black

The lug width of the Bremont America's Cup OTUSA-R/BK is 22 mm. This measurement represents the distance between the metal lugs that attach to the watch case. Always verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure proper fit and compatibility without stress on the case.

For the OTUSA-R/BK, we recommend vulcanised rubber straps for intensive marine use, or alligator or shell cordovan leather for mixed sport-elegant contexts. Your choice depends on use case: saline environments require rubber, occasional exposure permits leather with natural patina development. Polyamide NATO straps in navy blue or black offer versatility and quick-change capability.

To change the strap, use a gentle spring bar tool to avoid marking the titanium case. Position the tool in the groove beneath the pin, apply light and even downward pressure to release one end, then the other. Slide the pin out carefully and remove the strap. Insert the new strap into the case, ensuring the pins seat correctly. Verify secure attachment before wearing.

Yes, you can use aftermarket straps compatible with 22mm lug width. Milano Straps offers bespoke artisanal straps in leather, rubber and fabric with 22mm lug width specifically tested for mechanical and aesthetic compatibility with Bremont America's Cup chronographs. Always verify that the strap lugs do not touch the case edge at the pin attachment points.

A quality leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan, calf) typically lasts 5–8 years with regular non-marine use. In high-salinity or constant-humidity environments, lifespan reduces to 2–3 years. Natural patina and chromatic evolution are part of desirable ageing. For intensive marine use, we recommend rotating with rubber straps to extend the lifespan of your primary leather strap.
