Strap for Essence Automatic Blue / Calf

The Formex Essence 0330.1.7331.722 features 22mm lugs, the historical standard for watches with cases between 40 and 44mm. This width ensures perfect balance between case and wrist, with no binding or looseness.

For this technical timepiece, we recommend Tuscan Leather with vegetable tanning in Moro colour, which develops a noble patina over time and pairs naturally with stainless steel. Alternatively, natural alligator offers classical elegance, whilst NATO straps provide maximum practicality.

The strap is changed by removing the spring bars using a dedicated tool called a spring bar tool. Position the tool in the small slot beneath the lug, push gently to compress the spring, and extract the pin. Repeat on the opposite side and insert the new strap following the reverse procedure.

Yes. All our 22mm straps are compatible with the Formex Essence 0330.1.7331.722, as the lug width is precisely 22mm. We recommend measuring your lugs with a calliper before ordering to confirm the exact dimension.

A high-quality vegetable-tanned leather strap typically lasts 4-7 years with daily use. Durability depends on sun exposure, humidity, perspiration and maintenance frequency. Regular care with specific creams significantly extends the material's lifespan.
