Strap for DS Podium Automatic 29 Stainless Steel / Rose Gold PVD / MOP / Bracelet

The lug width is precisely 20mm, measured as the distance between the two internal metal pins. This measurement ensures compatibility with carefully selected third-party straps, maintaining harmonious proportions with the 29mm case diameter.

Selection depends on intended use. For formal elegance, we recommend black alligator or cognac vegetable-tanned leather; for sporty aesthetics, navy NATO or grey textile; for daily practicality, FKM rubber. The satin-brushed stainless steel case pairs excellently with all materials, allowing you to rotate options according to requirements.

Use a spring bar removal tool to extract the two metal pins from the lugs. This specialised instrument features a small fork that compresses the internal spring mechanism of the pin, facilitating smooth removal. Insert the new strap and reinsert the pins until they click into place.

Yes, all straps manufactured for 20mm lug width are compatible. Milano Straps produces artisanal straps in alligator, vegetable-tanned leather, NATO, and rubber, with attachment points precisely calibrated for this reference. Each strap is tested before dispatch.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap typically lasts 3-5 years in daily wear, depending on UV exposure, moisture levels, and intensity of use. It develops distinctive patina over time. Rubber straps last considerably longer (7-10 years) but require periodic cleaning to maintain water resistance.
