The Three-hand Models DA38.black, seen from the bench

The Damasko DA38.black is a contemporary evolution of German watchmaking tradition, featuring a 40mm stainless steel case with satin finish, black graphite dial, and automatic ETA 2836-2 anti-magnetic movement with hours, minutes, seconds, date and day. The 20mm lug width is proportioned to the case mass, creating a harmonious relationship between dimensions. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal and 30-bar water resistance make it suitable for recreational diving. The satin metal finish develops a warm patina over time, characteristic of German tool watches.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Damasko Three-hand Models DA38.black?

The lug width of the Damasko DA38.black is 20mm. This dimension is proportioned to the 40mm case and is measured at the widest point between the lugs. Any strap marked 20mm will fit with perfect precision.

Which strap is most suitable for the Damasko DA38.black?

For the DA38.black, we recommend straps in structured alligator (cognac, chocolate brown, anthracite), vegetable-tanned calfskin in natural grain, or NATO in grey and black tones. Avoid glossy materials or saturated colours that would compromise the tool-watch character of the timepiece.

How do you change the strap on a Damasko Three-hand Models?

The strap is changed by extracting the spring bars from the lugs. Use a dedicated spring bar tool: position the tip in the small groove of the bar, press downward and the strap releases. Repeat for the other lug. Insert the new strap by threading one spring bar into the new lug first, then press downward until it locks.

Is an aftermarket strap compatible with the DA38.black?

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is fully compatible with the Damasko DA38.black. The 20mm dimension is standard and available from most artisanal manufacturers. Simply ensure the strap thickness does not exceed 4-5mm for visual harmony.

How long does a leather strap last on a watch like the Damasko DA38.black?

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calfskin) typically lasts 3-5 years with daily wear, depending on UV exposure, perspiration and maintenance. Leather fears constant humidity and chlorine. Proper care—drying after perspiration contact, storage away from direct sunlight—significantly extends strap lifespan.
