Strap for Manometro Brushed / Ivory

The lug width of the Manometro MRB01N is 20mm, measured from the centres of the internal attachment holes on the case. A compatible strap must have standard 20mm lugs. The attachment depth is approximately 3.2mm, which is an important specification for NATO and rubber straps.

The optimal choice depends on intended usage. For formal elegance: black alligator with vegetable tanning, which develops a patina harmonious with aged stainless steel. For robust daily wear: NATO in rigid canvas grey-green or black FKM rubber. For aesthetic warmth: brushed Italian calf in dark brown. Your selection should respect the industrial aesthetic of the case.

Remove the watch from your wrist and place the case horizontally on a soft cloth. Using a spring bar tool (small metal lever), compress the elastic pin beneath the lug by inserting the tip into the designated slot and pushing gently downward. The pin retracts and the lug releases from the case. Slide out the old strap and insert the new one, ensuring the pin snaps firmly into the holes.

Yes, any strap featuring standard 20mm lugs is compatible. Milano Straps offers Italian-made artisanal straps specifically engineered for this specification: alligator, shell cordovan, calf leather, NATO, and rubber. Always verify that your strap is explicitly rated for 20mm and that attachment depth is minimum 3.2mm for secure fit.

A quality leather strap—alligator or vegetable-tanned calf—typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, or 7–10 years with occasional use. Longevity depends on UV exposure, humidity, frequency of wear, and care regimen. Natural leather darkens and develops patina over time, an aesthetically desirable outcome within the Manometro's narrative. NATO and rubber straps have slightly shorter life spans (2–4 years) but demand minimal maintenance.
