Strap for SeaQ Date Stainless Steel / Black / Synthetic - Pin

The Glashütte Original SeaQ 1-39-11-06-60-08 features a 20-millimetre lug width. This standard is compatible with the 39.50 mm case diameter and proves suitable for most medium-sized wrists. The measurement is taken by measuring the linear distance between the horizontal lugs positioned on the lateral case horns.

Strap selection depends on intended usage. For artisanal elegance and aesthetic ageing, we recommend vegetable-tanned alligator; for daily versatility and comfort, vegetable-tanned calf; for marine environments and complete water resistance, polyamide NATO webbing; for instrumental robustness, vulcanised rubber. All materials are available in 20mm width at milanostraps.it.

The strap is replaced by acting on the case lugs. Using a dedicated spring bar tool, insert the blade into the space between the pin and lug, applying gentle vertical pressure to free the pin from its seat. Once extracted, the old strap separates from the case. Installation of the new 20mm strap occurs by reversing the procedure: the pin must click firmly into both lug shoulders.

Yes, you may use quality artisanal aftermarket straps provided they respect the 20-millimetre lug width specification. Straps available at milanostraps.it are crafted with meticulous attention to constructive detail and finishing, guaranteeing mechanical compatibility and aesthetic harmony with the Saxon case. Choosing an artisanal strap further valorises the technical character and sartorial vocation of the timepiece.

A quality artisanal leather strap subjected to routine maintenance—occasional cleaning, drying after humid exposure, annual conditioning—maintains structural integrity for 5–8 years of daily wear. Vegetable tanning confers greater longevity compared to industrial chrome tanning. Ageing does not represent a defect, but rather the natural evolution of patina, which increases the character and personality of the strap over time.
