Strap for D-Series Stainless Steel / Green / Milanese

The D05-1001 features a fixed lug width of 20 mm. This dimension is measured between the two spring bar pins that hold the strap. It is a standard size that grants access to a vast global market of aftermarket straps, both artisanal and industrial.

It depends on usage and dial finish. For formal elegance, alligator with vegetable tanning or Barenia calf are ideal choices. For sporty versatility, NATO canvas straps or FKM rubber ensure practicality. The 20 mm width accommodates clean constructive transitions with any material.

Remove the watch from your wrist. Use a spring bar tool (small steel lever) to depress the pin toward the watch case, freeing one side of the strap. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap by sliding the pin into its seating, ensuring it locks completely.

Yes, absolutely. The standard 20 mm lug width makes the D05-1001 fully compatible with aftermarket straps from any brand. No proprietary restrictions exist. We recommend choosing straps with redundant spring bars and finishes consistent with the case (satin preferred).

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf) typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, depending on climate (humidity accelerates ageing) and maintenance. Vegetable-tanned straps develop desirable patina and may last 7–8 years. NATO or rubber straps have longer durability (5–10 years).
