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

The lug width of the SeaQ 1-39-11-13-63-08 is 20 mm. This dimension is measured from the outermost point of one lug to the corresponding point on the opposite lug, keeping the calliper parallel to the dial. It is essential to verify this measurement before ordering an aftermarket strap, as a dimensional error results in attachment incompatibility.

The ideal strap depends on intended use. For formal occasions and moderate aquatic environments, black satin alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather offer elegance and resilience. For intensive aquatic use or professional environments, a technical NATO or FKM rubber strap guarantees absolute durability and rapid drying. A stainless steel deployante completes formal equipment.

The change requires an appropriate spring bar tool. The thin end of the tool is inserted under the elastic pin (spring bar) of the lug, lifting gently until sufficient clearance permits bar extraction. It is essential to avoid excessive pressure on the lugs themselves, as stainless steel, though robust, may present scratching risks. Some workshops prefer padded tools to protect the finish.

Yes, provided they respect the 20 mm lug width. Straps in alligator, calf, NATO or rubber produced by specialist craftsmen and correctly dimensioned install without modification. It is advisable to verify with the maker that the strap has been manufactured according to specifications of the Saxon lug width, as minimal tolerance variations may affect wear comfort.

A vegetable-tanned calf strap, subjected to ordinary wear (4–5 days weekly) and periodic maintenance, maintains structural integrity for 3–5 years. Alligator, owing to superior grain density, may extend this duration to 5–7 years. Determining factors include moisture exposure, washing frequency, UV exposure and initial tanning quality. FKM rubber straps, if not exposed to extreme temperatures, may last 8–10 years maintaining elasticity.
