Strap for Chronograph Havana Green Seddiqi & Sons Dubai Watch Week 2021

The Furlan Marri 1061-A features a lug width of 20 millimetres. This measurement represents the distance between the outer edges of the upper lugs on the case and determines compatibility with aftermarket straps. To verify the measurement accurately, use a digital calliper or flexible ruler, positioning it edge-to-edge across the lugs at the top of the case.

The choice depends on intended use and dial variant. An alligator strap offers professional authority and elegant visual contrast; vegetable-tanned calf develops personalised patina over time; military-grade nylon NATO ensures practical versatility for daily wear; structured rubber amplifies the sporty character of the mecha-quartz movement. For dark dials we recommend black or burgundy alligator; for lighter tones, medium brown or warm cognac calf.

Strap removal involves extracting the lug pins (spring bars). Position the watch with lugs facing upward, use a dedicated tool to compress the lower pin and slide it laterally. Once released, the strap detaches easily. Repeat on the opposite side. To install the new strap, insert the pin into the case lug whilst compressing it slightly, then slide it into the new strap until it clicks into position. Verify both sides are securely fastened before wearing the watch.

Yes, any strap with a 20-millimetre lug width is compatible with the 1061-A, provided the design and length are proportioned to the 38-millimetre case diameter. Milano Straps offers artisanal straps in alligator, calf, NATO and rubber specifically constructed for this measurement. Before purchase, always verify that the declared width corresponds exactly to 20 millimetres, as variations as small as 0.5 mm compromise mechanical fit and visual aesthetics.

Leather strap longevity depends on leather type and usage patterns. An alligator strap with vegetable tanning typically lasts 3–5 years of daily wear, developing appealing patina over time; calf typically lasts 2–4 years depending on exposure frequency to moisture and perspiration. NATO and rubber straps have superior durability, generally 5–7 years for NATO and 4–6 years for rubber. Natural wear manifests as reduced elasticity, darkened colouration at edges, and microscopic cracking in material. Mindful maintenance—drying after moisture exposure, treating with natural balms every six months—significantly extends strap longevity.
