Strap for DS-8 Powermatic 80 Lady Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The lug width for the Certina DS-8 C033.207.11.053.00 is 20mm. This measurement corresponds to the internal distance between the lugs of the case. Always verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap, using a calliper positioned on the inner shoulders of the mounting holes.

For the DS-8 C033.207.11.053.00, leather straps in alligator or vegetable-tanned calf are recommended, in cognac brown, black or tobacco tones. Alternatively, NATO straps in robust canvas or technical elastomers provide chromatic versatility and rapid interchangeability whilst maintaining aesthetic coherence.

To change the strap, use a spring bar removal tool. Insert the blade into the groove of the elastic pin from the lower side, lift gently to decompress the internal spring, and extract the pin. Repeat on the opposite side. Insert the new elastic pins into the case holes and ensure the spring locks correctly in its seat.
