Strap for Octa Divine 42 Platinum

The lug width of the FP Journe Octa 1300.3 NOD 42 PT is 20 millimetres. This measurement is specific to this model and allows for the fitting of high-quality artisanal straps. To verify the width, position a digital calliper between the two lugs of the case: the distance between these metal cylinders is invariably 20 mm.

For this platinum timepiece, an alligator strap with vegetable tanning in cognac brown or black is recommended, or alternatively shell cordovan. These materials enhance the refinement of the case and develop patina over time. A fine-grained calf leather in dark burgundy offers elegance with greater practicality for daily wear.

To change the strap, you will require a spring bar tool, a specialised instrument that allows you to compress the elastic pin and disengage the strap from the case lugs. Insert the bifid tip of the spring bar tool into the slot of the pin, apply gentle lateral pressure, then slide off the old strap and insert the new one. The operation requires care to avoid scratching the case.

Yes, you may use any high-quality artisanal strap with a 20mm lug width. Milano Straps offers an extensive selection of compatible straps in vegetable-tanned leather, alligator, shell cordovan, and fabric, all constructed to elevated quality standards and ready for installation on the FP Journe Octa 1300.3 NOD 42 PT.

A high-quality leather strap, such as those offered by Milano Straps in alligator or shell cordovan with vegetable tanning, can last from 5 to 10 years of regular use, developing a captivating patina over time. Longevity depends on frequency of use, climatic conditions, and maintenance care. Prolonged exposure to moisture, direct heat, and chemical substances reduces strap longevity.
