Strap for Supermarine S500 Green

The lug width of the Bremont Supermarine S500BKGN is 22mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the two spring bars that support the strap. It is essential to verify that any aftermarket strap is precisely dimensioned at 22mm to ensure a perfect fit without lateral play or structural stress.

For the Supermarine S500BKGN we recommend three construction options. Alligator or shell cordovan leather for elegant daily wear with evolving patina. NATO textile strap for versatility and quick changes. FKM or EPDM rubber if the watch is destined for frequent diving or marine environments: it guarantees stability when wet and resistance to chlorine and salt.

Changing the strap on the Bremont Supermarine S500BKGN requires a spring bar tool. Position the watch on a soft surface. Insert the tip of the spring bar tool under the first lug, lift the internal spring, then extract the pin laterally. Repeat on the other side. Once the lugs are free, insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the pins, then press downward until the tension springs click into position. Verify that the strap has no play.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible with the Bremont Supermarine S500BKGN. Milano Straps offers a collection of 22mm straps in Italian artisanal leather (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, shell cordovan), premium NATO straps and rubber options. All are verified for dimensional fit and mechanical resistance.

The durability of a leather strap depends on usage and environmental conditions. Superior quality leather with vegetable tanning resists 4-6 years of daily wear, developing visible patina after 6-12 months. If exposed to constant moisture (frequent marine use), durability reduces to 2-3 years. An FKM rubber strap lasts 5-7 years in frequent diving. Maintenance — drying the strap after salt water contact — significantly extends longevity.
