Yes, provided the strap has the same lug width (20 mm) and the clasp configuration is compatible (deployante, simple passant, etc.). Verify the technical specifications of the product in the manufacturer's catalogue before purchase.

A strap made from vegetable-tanned leather, if properly maintained (kept dry, protected from excessive moisture and perspiration), lasts 2-4 years in daily use. Durability depends on leather quality, frequency of use and environmental conditions. Rubber straps last longer but gradually degrade with UV exposure.
