Strap for Chronograph Stainless Steel / White / Brown Matte

The Excelsior Park Chronograph EP95001-BR features 20 mm lugs as standard. This measurement is easily verified by measuring the distance between the two case lugs using a digital calliper. All straps compatible with this lug width will fit perfectly.

The choice depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For formal wear, an alligator strap with vegetable tanning in brown or burgundy tones is recommended. For everyday elegance, cognac-coloured vegetable-tanned nappa leather offers softness and natural patina development. For sports and humid environments, a cotton O-Ring NATO or FKM rubber strap provides durability and quick-change capability.

Position the watch with the lugs facing you. Using a spring bar tool, gently push the elastic pin inward to release tension—the pin will release. Repeat for the other lug. Insert the new strap, aligning the elastic pins with the lug holes, and press until you hear a firm click. Verify that the strap is securely attached.

Yes, any strap with a 20 mm lug width is compatible. We recommend artisanal straps from specialised manufacturers, which offer superior quality to standard OEM straps. Always verify that the lug width (20 mm) matches your watch specification.

Durability depends on tanning method, thickness, and usage. A vegetable-tanned alligator or shell cordovan strap, with proper care (avoiding prolonged water exposure and rapid drying), lasts 3–5 years. High-quality vegetable-tanned nappa leather resists wear for 2–4 years. Sunlight and humidity exposure reduce longevity. Annual application of natural leather balm extends strap lifespan significantly.
