Strap for DS Prime Lady Shape Silver

The best strap depends on your usage. For formal contexts, we recommend calf leather with vegetable tanning or alligator. For daily sportive wear, canvas NATO or rubber are ideal. Shell cordovan represents a compromise between elegance and durability, developing a unique patina over time.

Use a spring bar tool to extract the pins securing the strap to the case lugs. Align the new strap holes with the lugs and reinsert the pins until they click into place. Ensure the strap is correctly positioned before wearing the watch.

A quality leather strap, with regular maintenance, lasts between 2 and 4 years with daily use. Vegetable-tanned leather typically lasts longer than chrome-tanned, as it develops a protective patina. Exposure to humidity and sunlight reduces lifespan; rubber or NATO straps easily exceed 5 years of use.
