Strap for Chronograph Tasti Tondi

The lug width of the Furlan Marri Chronograph Mecha-Quartz 1011-A is 20mm. This measurement is the international standard for chronographs and sports watches with a 38mm case diameter. A 20mm strap fits perfectly into the case lugs, ensuring optimal fit and access to a wide range of artisanal strap options.

The best strap depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For formal elegance, we recommend alligator in dark brown or black, which balances the chronograph's sporty nature with sophistication. For those preferring authenticity, vegetable-tanned calf is ideal, developing a unique patina over time. For daily and sports use, canvas NATO or vulcanised rubber ensures practicality without compromise.

To change the strap, you need to access the lateral lugs on the case (the two horizontal pins that support the current strap). Using a dedicated spring bar tool, gently push the pin to release it from its seat, removing the old strap. Next, insert the pins of the new strap into the cavities, ensuring they are fully engaged. This operation requires precision to avoid damaging the lugs.

Yes, any artisanal strap with a 20mm lug width is fully compatible with the 1011-A. Quality aftermarket straps often feature superior construction compared to standard straps supplied with the watch, offering premium materials such as alligator, shell cordovan, or treated cotton, as well as technical solutions like a deployante for increased durability.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality and usage conditions. A quality artisanal alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap can last 2–4 years with daily use, developing a natural patina over time. Exposure to moisture, perspiration, and temperature fluctuations accelerates wear. Storing the watch in dry environments and periodically rotating between different straps significantly extends the life of each individual strap.
