Strap for Real Moon Tides Steel

The lug width of the CKRS3324 is 20 mm. This measurement represents the distance between the strap attachment pins on the case and must be measured precisely using a digital calliper, verifying the distance between the internal mounting points where the strap is inserted.

The finest choice is a natural brown alligator strap with vegetable tanning, which complements the complexity of the astronomical dial and harmonises with the patina of the stainless steel case. For formal occasions, a black vegetable-tanned calf leather strap offers pure elegance. Selection depends on intended use: refined for daywear, sportive-formal for FKM rubber.

The strap is changed by removing the two lateral pins that hold the lug to the case. Using a strap removal tool or a small flathead screwdriver, apply gentle pressure on the pins to slide them out of their seats. Once the old strap is removed, insert the new one by aligning the lug holes with the pins and pushing them until fully seated in the case.

All straps with a 20 mm lug width are compatible with the CKRS3324. At milanostraps.it, a comprehensive selection of 20 mm straps is available in alligator, calf, shell cordovan, and rubber, handcrafted with metal pads and rings ensuring perfect fit on the case.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) has an average lifespan of 3–5 years with daily use, varying based on UV exposure, humidity, and maintenance frequency. Vegetable-tanned leather ages naturally, acquiring patina and character. FKM rubber offers superior durability (5–8 years) but less aesthetic versatility. Rotating between multiple straps significantly extends the lifespan of each.
