Strap for AV-98 Timpani Rose

The lug width is 22 millimetres, measured from the inner point of one spring bar to the other. This dimension is specific to the AV-98 model and determines compatibility with artisanal straps. Always verify this measurement before ordering to ensure perfect fit.

For the CTW-027-Rose we recommend alligator leather with vegetable tanning in cognac or medium brown, which emphasises the rose gold details of the case. Alternatively, robust calf leather offers wrist comfort with wear resistance, whilst a NATO fabric strap ensures everyday versatility. Rubber is the contemporary choice for sports use.

Obtain a spring bar removal tool. Position the watch on a stable surface, insert the tool beneath the strap lug from one side, apply gentle downward pressure, then extract the spring bar. Repeat on the opposite side. Insert the new spring bars into the artisanal strap, align with the lugs and press until they click into position.

Absolutely. Any strap with compatible 22 millimetre lugs is suitable. Our artisanal straps on milanostraps.it are crafted from superior leather with finishes that enhance the stainless steel and rose gold case. Verify the lug width before ordering and select the correct measurement.

With artisanal vegetable tanning, 3-5 years of daily wear, developing natural patina that improves over time. With fast industrial tanning, 18-24 months. Longevity depends on frequency of use, sun exposure, humidity and maintenance. Our straps develop character with age, thanks to authentic materials and constructive techniques, delaying replacement whilst enriching aesthetics.
