The Three-hand Models DA46, seen from the bench

The Damasko DA46 is a three-hand instrument watch representing German construction philosophy. It features a 41.90mm stainless steel case with a 20mm lug width, reflecting original European aviation chronograph proportions suited for medium-sized wrists. The ETA caliber 2836-2 movement provides hours, minutes, seconds, date, and day of week with certified precision. The case develops a natural patina over time and offers water resistance for sports use.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Damasko Three-hand Models DA46?

The Damasko DA46 is equipped with 20mm lugs (lug width 20mm). This specification, characteristic of European aviation instruments, creates compact and proportionate dimensions. To verify strap compatibility, measure with a digital calliper the distance from the bottom of one lug to the bottom of the other: it must be precisely 20mm.

Which strap is recommended for the DA46?

The DA46 pairs ideally with vegetable-tanned calf leather straps for daily wear, offering balance between formal aesthetics and functional resilience. For sports or outdoor scenarios, military-spec nylon NATO straps ensure durability and rapid interchangeability. Satin alligator is reserved for those seeking occasional sober elegance. All 20mm straps in our collection are compatible and customisable.

How do I change the strap on my Damasko DA46?

The procedure is straightforward: extract the lug pin using a dedicated spring bar tool or appropriate instrument. Position the pin on the spiral spring, insert into the new strap and re-insert into the case until the first click. Verify the pin is fully locked by checking that the strap does not detach easily. When you purchase one of our 20mm straps, we include detailed instructions and technical support.

Are aftermarket straps compatible with the DA46?

Yes, all straps with 20mm lug width are compatible with the Damasko DA46. It is essential to verify exact width: measured from the bottom of one lug to the other, it must be 20mm. Our collection straps are handcrafted and subject to quality control, guaranteeing perfect fit, premium materials and finishes consistent with the model's German engineering heritage.

How long does a leather strap last on the DA46 case?

A vegetable-tanned calf strap has an average lifespan of 3–5 years with daily wear, developing an appealing patina over time. Alligator, if maintained with periodic care (gentle cleaning, application of natural balms), can last 5–7 years. Longevity depends on environment (humidity, sun exposure, perspiration) and maintenance level. Military-spec nylon NATO straps have indefinite durability, yielding only to visible mechanical wear. Upon request, Casati Milano atelier offers restoration and rejuvenation service.
