What length do I need?

Measure your wrist with a tailor's tape or a piece of string, comfortably snug.

15.0–16.4 cm120 / 70 mm
16.5–17.8 cm125 / 75 mm
17.9–19.0 cm130 / 80 mm
19.1–20.3 cm135 / 85 mm
20.4–21.6 cm140 / 85 mm

The ready-to-wear strap is 115 × 75 mm. For a smaller or larger wrist I make it in the right length: order your length.

What I'm asked about the Citizen Eco-Drive EM0996-84Y

What strap size does the Citizen Eco-Drive EM0996-84Y take?

The Citizen Eco-Drive EM0996-84Y needs 7 mm between the lugs. It's the size I've been fitting on it for years.

Can the strap on the Citizen Eco-Drive EM0996-84Y be changed?

Yes. It has spring bars between the lugs: with the right tool the strap comes off in a minute. If you'd rather not risk a scratch, I do it in the workshop.

Can I put a leather strap on the Citizen Eco-Drive EM0996-84Y?

Yes, in 7 mm leather. On a 28 mm dress watch alligator is the natural choice: thin, elegant, what it was born for.

Which strap do you recommend for the Citizen Eco-Drive EM0996-84Y?

A thin 7 mm alligator. I don't keep this size ready in the catalogue: I make it to measure. If you'd rather have something built on your wrist, the Casati atelier.
