Lug width to be confirmed
On this Certina DS Podium C001.007.22.113.00 the lug width doesn't convince me, and I don't want to give you a number I'm not sure about. Write to me on WhatsApp with the reference or a photo of the watch: I'll check it and tell you myself.

Frequently asked questions
Which strap is most suitable for the Certina DS Podium C001.007.22.113.00?
For the C001.007.22.113.00, we recommend a strap in alligator leather with vegetable tanning in cognac tone, which enhances the steel case and amplifies the sporty-elegant character of the model. Alternatively, a smooth black calf leather offers maximum versatility and compatibility with any context. For sporting use, an organic cotton NATO or technical elastomer ensures durability and practicality.
How do I change the strap on my Certina DS Podium?
Strap replacement is achieved by removing the lugs (using the reverse of the case) with a dedicated tool or small flathead screwdriver. Position the watch with lugs facing upward, gently push the lug from one side to the other until it comes out, then repeat on the opposite side. Insert the lugs of the new strap by applying gentle pressure until the locking click is felt.
How long does a leather strap last on a watch like the Certina DS Podium?
A quality leather strap with vegetable tanning maintains structural integrity for 3-5 years of regular use, depending on exposure to moisture, perspiration, and mechanical wear. The patina that forms represents natural ageing, not deterioration. With minimal maintenance (periodic cleaning, drying after moisture exposure), longevity is significantly extended. Technical materials such as rubber and NATO guarantee superior resistance, up to 7-10 years.
