Strap for DC80 Green Bicolour

The lug width of the Damasko Chronographs DC80.green.bicolour is 22 mm. This parameter, measured centre-to-centre across the spring bars, determines compatibility with aftermarket straps. All 22 mm straps fit perfectly into the case lugs without mechanical modification.

For the green bicolour DC80, we recommend genuine Nile crocodile in grey-blue or dark brown, or Italian calf in vegetable tanning with Togo grain. For tactical use, a 1.2 mm cotton NATO strap is the functional choice. Vulcanised FKM rubber represents the extreme option for aquatic environments and critical temperature ranges.

Remove the strap using a spring bar removal tool, available from any watchmaker. Position the lever against the spring bar's compression mechanism, apply downward pressure until release, then extract the bar. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the bars and press until engaged. Verify that both springs are fully seated in their lugs.

Yes, the DC80.green.bicolour is fully compatible with 22 mm aftermarket straps of any material: crocodile, calf, rubber, NATO, shell cordovan. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted vegetable-tanned leather and certified technical rubber straps, all tested for mechanical and aesthetic compatibility with the model.

A quality leather strap (crocodile or calf in vegetable tanning) typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, depending on perspiration levels, sun exposure, and regular cleaning. Natural patina and micro-creasing are normal and add character. With proper maintenance (conditioning with vegetable cream every 6 months) and rotation with alternative straps, longevity extends significantly.
