Strap for Diver Automatic Black / Bracelet

The Formex Diver 2100.1.7020.100 features a lug width of 22mm, measured perpendicularly at the point of contact between the case lug and the strap. This measurement is standardised and allows compatibility with any 22mm aftermarket strap.

Selection depends on primary use. For intensive water environments, a technical rubber or NATO strap ensures rapid drying and absence of swelling. For daily wear, alligator leather or vegetable-tanned calf offers elegance and natural patina development. For expeditions, a black NATO strap provides versatility and rapid emergency changes.

Strap changes are accomplished via the lug pins, which are removable manually or with dedicated tools (spring bar tool). Position the watch on a soft cloth, insert the tool between the lug and pin, apply gentle compression to the internal lug shoulder, and the pin slides out without case damage. Repeat on the opposite side, then install the new strap sequentially.

Yes, without restrictions. Any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible with the Formex Diver 2100.1.7020.100. Milano Straps offers complete 22mm compatibility in natural leather, alligator, shell cordovan, NATO, technical rubber, and canvas fabrics, all ready for immediate use.

Longevity depends on tanning method and material. Vegetable-tanned calf lasts 3–5 years in daily wear, with potential patina regeneration. Alligator resists 5–7 years, with aesthetic improvement through ageing. NATO persists 7–10 years. Frequent exposure to humidity and salt water reduces lifespan but accelerates natural patina development in organic materials.
