Strap for DS Podium Big Size Chrono 1/100 Sec WRC Limited Edition

The lug width is 22mm, measured between the inner edges of both lugs. This dimension is specific to this model and accommodates straps with coherent thickness (1.4-1.6mm) without structural play.

Selection depends on usage. For daily elegance: vegetable-tanned leather in havana brown. For sportive robustness: FKM rubber or heavyweight cotton NATO. For formal occasions: French calfskin or alligator with natural patina. Choice depends on context and desired leather tone.

Position the watch on a soft surface. Locate the spring bars at the strap ends. Using a strap removal tool or blunt knife tip, press the pin inward whilst simultaneously extracting the old strap. Insert the new strap's pins into the lugs until they click into position.

Yes, provided it features a 22mm lug width. Milano Straps offers artisanal straps in vegetable-tanned leather, alligator, and rubber specifically dimensioned for this lug width. Always verify total length (must cover the wrist without excess) and passant type (fixed or mobile) according to your preferences.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use, depending on exposure to moisture, perspiration, and UV rays. The patina developing over time is a distinctive feature of vegetable-tanned leather. To extend durability, clean periodically with a soft damp cloth and apply balm every 6-8 months.
