Strap for DC80 Green

The lug width of the Damasko DC80.green is exactly 22 millimetres. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs of the case. To verify it on your watch, measure the inner space between one lug and the other, excluding any external protrusions. This specification is essential for selecting compatible straps without fitting errors.

For the Damasko DC80.green we recommend three primary options. Black alligator provides formal elegance and chromatic contrast with the green dial, guaranteeing decade-long durability. A cognac-coloured leather strap in vegetable tanning creates an interesting optical interplay between warm brown and satin green, developing a highly personal patina over time. NATO straps in neutral sand-grey tones maintain the tactical character of the watch, returning chromatic harmony without visual distraction.

Remove the watch from your wrist and position it on a soft, clean surface. Locate the lugs (small lateral protrusions of the case where the strap sits). Using a flat, non-cutting tool (plastic spatula, wooden stick, or the classic spring bar tool), gently push inward the elastic pin supporting the strap from one side, creating slack. Slide the strap out of the lug. Repeat from the other side. To mount the new strap, insert first one lug into the first hole, then using the spring bar tool, push the elastic pin to create space, and slide the second lug into place before releasing the pin. Verify that both sides are firmly anchored before wearing the watch.

Yes, absolutely. With its 22-millimetre lug width, you can use any certified quality artisanal strap with the same lug width specification. The market offers solutions ranging from full-grain leather to alligator, from technical NATO straps to FKM rubber. The important thing is always to verify the dimension before purchase and choose craftspeople who guarantee impeccable finishing on cut edges and stitching, as a poorly made strap would compromise the aesthetics of the Damasko case.

An artisanal quality leather strap worn daily maintains full functionality for 3 to 5 years, depending on your usage patterns and climate conditions. Leather in vegetable tanning ages gracefully, developing patina and micro-lesions that testify to elapsed time. When the strap begins to show deep cracks or loss of structural elasticity in the lug areas, it is time to replace it. If you use the strap only on weekends, longevity extends to 7 to 10 years. Periodic maintenance with products specific to vegetable-tanned leather significantly extends the accessory's useful life.
