Strap for DA 36 Black

The lug width of the Damasko DA36.black is 20 millimetres, measured between the spring bars that connect the strap to the case. This specification allows the use of straps specifically designed for the 20mm width, available in leather, NATO and rubber materials.

For the DA36.black we recommend a strap in shell cordovan or vegetable-tanned alligator, materials that pair perfectly with the robustness of the brushed stainless steel case. Alternatively, a grey or black NATO strap respects the instrumental nature of the watch, whilst an FKM rubber strap is ideal for aquatic activities.

To change the strap, use a spring bar removal tool or a small flathead screwdriver. Gently insert the tool into the small hole next to the spring bar, press downward to compress the internal spring and extract the bar. Repeat on the opposite side, then insert the new strap and reinsert the bars until they click into place.

Yes, any 20mm strap is compatible with the DA36.black, provided it is of adequate construction quality. MilanoStraps offers 20mm straps in premium leather, NATO and rubber, all tested and designed for this type of case.

A quality leather strap, especially if vegetable-tanned, lasts on average 3-5 years in daily use. Longevity depends on exposure to sweat, humidity and frequency of use. Shell cordovan and alligator offer superior longevity, up to 7-10 years. Rotating between straps significantly extends the life of each one.
