Strap for Loki

The lug width of the Citizen Marvel AW1363-06W is 22 millimetres. This measurement represents the distance between the two pins that anchor the strap to the case. It is a generous standard that permits the installation of quality aftermarket straps without requiring adapters.

For the Citizen Marvel AW1363-06W, we recommend full-grain leather straps with vegetable tanning, which develop natural patina over time. Alternatively, NATO straps in cordura or heavyweight cotton offer versatility and ease of change. For sporting activities, structured rubber of the divers type provides tactile grip and moisture resistance. The choice depends on intended use and personal aesthetic preferences.

To change the strap on the AW1363-06W, you must remove the two lateral pins (spring bars) that anchor the original strap to the case. Use a dedicated spring bar tool to gently push the pin inward, freeing the strap. Insert the new strap into the lug holes and reinsert the pins until you hear a click of closure. The 22mm lug width facilitates this operation thanks to standard dimensions.

Yes, any strap with a 22-millimetre lug width is compatible with the Citizen Marvel AW1363-06W. The lug width is the reference standard; provided the strap has been manufactured for 22mm, installation will be perfect without requiring modifications or adapters. Always verify the specific lug width before purchase.

A quality leather strap, with vegetable tanning, subjected to moderate-to-intensive use, typically lasts 3 to 5 years. Durability depends on frequency of use, exposure to moisture and sunlight, and maintenance. A full-grain leather strap tends to age elegantly, developing patina; conversely, delicate leathers wear more quickly. To prolong life, occasionally apply leather-specific balms and avoid prolonged moisture exposure.
