Strap for Lady Serenade Stainless Steel / Diamond / Valentine's Day - Pin

The lug width is 18 millimetres. This measurement is specific to this model and cannot be interchanged with 16, 20, or 22mm lugs. To verify, measure the distance between the spring bars (the small metal cylinders) from end to end: it must be exactly 18mm.

The ideal strap depends on usage. For formal excellence: alligator or Tuscany calf in vegetable tanning, cognac or black colour. For daily versatility: vegetable-tanned calf in natural tones. For sports applications: cotton-polyester NATO strap or translucent rubber. The lug width remains fixed at 18mm.

The 18mm strap is changed using a spring bar removal tool. Insert the tip into the spring bar slot from underneath the lug, push upward until the bar releases from its seat in the case, then remove the strap. To install the new strap, reverse the procedure: position the spring bars into the new strap and press downward until they click into place.

Yes, provided the aftermarket strap is specifically constructed for the 18mm lug width. Verify that the internal diameter of the strap slots matches your watch's spring bars. Straps made by specialist craftsmen guarantee precise tolerances and no lateral play on the case.

A quality leather strap, made from vegetable-tanned hide with robust stitching, lasts an average of 3–5 years with daily wear. Durability depends on exposure to moisture, perspiration, and maintenance. Rotating between multiple straps extends the life of each. Rubber or NATO textile straps show greater longevity.
