Strap for SeaQ Date Stainless Steel / Blue / Synthetic - Folding

The SeaQ 1-39-11-10-70-34 has a lug width of 20mm (distance between the lugs). The lug pins are typically 1.8mm in diameter. Always measure the exact distance between the lugs before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect compatibility.

For the yellow gold and stainless steel SeaQ, we recommend Mississippi alligator in dark tones, which contrasts elegantly with the gold case. Vegetable-tanned calf leather develops a natural patina over time. For aquatic environments or intensive use, FKM rubber or polyamide NATO straps excel: rubber resists chlorine and UV rays far better than leather, maintaining authentic marine functionality.

Use a spring bar tool (strap changer) to extract the pins from the case lugs. Position the tool's flat end against the pin and push gently until it releases. Once free, remove the old strap and insert the new one by aligning the holes with the pins. Reinsert the pins with controlled, decisive movements. If you lack the tool, consult a qualified watchmaker.

Yes, any strap with 20mm lug width and 1.8mm pins is compatible. Verify that the strap is designed for sports watches and can withstand at least 10–15 ATM (150 bar) of case pressure. The aftermarket strap must not exceed the original's thickness by more than 2mm, otherwise it may alter case ergonomics.

A quality alligator or calf leather strap, worn daily, typically lasts 18–36 months before replacement. Longevity depends on environment (humidity, saltwater, UV), cleaning frequency, and care. Vegetable-tanned calf ages faster but develops a compelling patina. Vulcanised rubber and NATO straps last longer (36–48 months) due to chemical inertness.
