Strap for DS Eagle Chronograph Automatic

The lug width is 20 millimetres. This measurement represents the distance between the two attachment pins on the case and determines strap compatibility. A 20mm lug width strap ensures correct fit and stability on this chronograph.

For a 46mm chronograph like this, we recommend alligator-tanned straps (cognac brown or dark blue) for sporty elegance, or vegetable-tanned leather for natural patina evolution. A NATO in heavyweight canvas or a technical FKM rubber strap are optimal choices if the watch is used in intense outdoor environments.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool to compress the small springs (spring bars) that secure the pins to the case lugs. Insert the tool into the side spaces of the lug, gently press to release the pin, remove it, and thread the new strap. This operation requires care to avoid damaging the steel lugs.

All straps with 20mm lug width are compatible. Milano Straps offers a dedicated collection: high-quality leather straps (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), NATO in cotton and linen, and technical vulcanised rubber straps. Each strap is tested to guarantee structural and aesthetic compatibility with this case.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, used daily, typically lasts 3-5 years before replacement becomes necessary due to wear. Lifespan varies based on climate (humidity and temperature), frequency of use, and maintenance. Treatment with protective creams significantly extends the strap's useful life.
