Strap for SeaQ Date Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The lug width is 20 mm. This measurement is specific to the SeaQ model and is more refined than common dive watch standards (22–24 mm). To verify it correctly, place a digital calliper between the inner lugs of the case, measuring from left shoulder to right shoulder. This precision is essential for selecting a compatible strap.

The choice depends on intended use: shell cordovan leather with vegetable tanning offers natural patina and exceptional longevity for daily wear; a satinised alligator in brown or navy blue provides sporty elegance; a dense nylon NATO maintains functional authenticity; a black FKM rubber is ideal for marine environments. We recommend a personalised consultation at Atelier Casati Milano to evaluate your personal style and usage context.

The SeaQ uses a fixed lug system (non-drilled lugs are not applicable). Replacement requires gently pushing the springbars inward using a dedicated Y-shaped tool, then sliding out the old strap and inserting the new one. We recommend entrusting this operation to a competent watchmaker if you lack experience, to avoid scratching the case or damaging internal components.

Yes, absolutely. Any strap with a 20 mm lug width is compatible. Milano Straps artisanal straps are engineered to high-quality standards, with finishes and materials comparable to or superior to originals. We recommend selecting from full-thickness leather (alligator, shell cordovan, calf) or certified technical fabrics (NATO) for durability.

A high-quality leather strap (shell cordovan or vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 5–8 years with moderate daily use, developing a natural patina that increases aesthetic character. Longevity depends on environmental humidity, frequency of use, and maintenance. Leather should be protected from prolonged exposure to heat and stagnant freshwater. NATO or FKM rubber are more resistant to wear but less aesthetically compelling.
