Strap for DS Caimano Powermatic 80 Stainless Steel / Silver / Strap

The lug width is 20 millimetres, measured pin-to-pin. This technical specification is essential for selecting compatible straps and ensuring a perfect fit without play or misalignment.

For this 31mm model, we recommend natural alligator for timeless elegance, vegetable-tanned calf for evolving patina, waxed canvas NATO for sporty versatility, or vulcanised rubber for durability. The choice depends on primary use context and personal colour palette.

Position the watch on a clean surface with the lug facing upward. Use a spring bar tool to apply gentle lateral pressure on the pin, releasing one end of the strap at a time. Avoid forcing: the pins have precise tolerances and excessive pressure may damage them. Insert the new strap ensuring the holes align perfectly before releasing the tool.

Absolutely. An artisan strap in alligator or calf from a specialised tannery guarantees not only mechanical compatibility (with certified 20mm lug width) but also superior longevity and aesthetic quality compared to standard OEM straps. Milano Straps offers curated strap selections specifically tested for this watch category.

A quality alligator or calf strap, with ordinary care, lasts 3-5 years before requiring replacement due to natural wear. Colour evolution begins after 6-8 months of regular use. Monthly cleaning with a damp cloth and thorough drying after prolonged humidity exposure significantly extends lifespan. Avoid salt water and prolonged direct sun exposure.
