Strap for SeaQ Date Stainless Steel / Green / Rubber - Pin

The lug width of the SeaQ is 20 millimetres. This measurement must be verified using a digital calliper positioned horizontally between the inner centres of the two lug attachments on the case. The 20mm specification is precise to this model and requires straps calibrated to this exact dimension to avoid play in the spring bar slots.

For the SeaQ we recommend straps in vegetable-tanned alligator (natural grain that develops patina with time), caramelised calf leather in cognac or black tones, or shell cordovan for those seeking a glass-like finish over years of wear. If the watch will be submerged regularly, FKM rubber in black or anthracite is the technically correct choice, as it resists salt water absorption and maintains elasticity over extended periods.

Remove the SeaQ from your wrist. Position the watch horizontally on a soft surface. Using a spring bar tool, compress the internal spring of the lug pin: insert the flat tip into the small slot on the spring, push towards the case edge and lift the free end of the pin. Repeat on the opposite side. Install the new strap by reversing the procedure, ensuring the pins engage correctly in the case slots.

Yes, provided the strap is precisely 20mm in lug width. Artisan-quality aftermarket straps in alligator, calf, shell cordovan or rubber are fully compatible. Always verify that the slots are in stainless steel to resist marine environments, and that the buckle or deployante is proportioned to the case diameter (39.50mm).

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf with vegetable tanning, shell cordovan) typically lasts 8–15 years with daily wear, depending on tannage and humidity exposure. FKM rubber lasts 10–12 years. Durability increases if the strap is not subjected to daily submersion; conversely, salt water accelerates ageing. A well-maintained strap can exceed 20 years with periodic reconditioning.
