Strap for Senator Excellence Stainless Steel / Black / Calf / Pin

The lug width is 20mm. This measurement must be verified by placing a calliper from the centre of one lug hole to the centre of the opposite hole, excluding the lug material itself. This is the exact reference for selecting compatible straps.

Alligator leather in dark brown or black tones, or vegetable-tanned calf that develops patina over time, enhance the aesthetic rigour of the silver dial. For summer wear, an O.D. nylon NATO or FKM rubber maintains technical seriousness. Choice depends on daily use and preference for patina development.

Strap replacement requires a specific spring bar tool to extract the lug pin. Position the metal compass in the designated holes, compress the internal spring slightly to release the pin, then extract it from the lug. Repeat on the opposite side. Insert the new strap by sliding the pin through the holes until the safety click engages.

Yes, provided the width is precisely 20mm and the spring bar holes are correctly dimensioned. Verify that the strap holes accommodate the lug pin without lateral play. Milano Straps offers 20mm straps custom-made for this specific compatibility, in artisanal leather and technical materials.

Durability depends on tanning method and thickness. A quality vegetable-tanned calf strap withstands 3-5 years of daily wear whilst developing aesthetic patina. Quality alligator can last 5-7 years. Longevity increases if the watch is not worn in very humid environments or overnight.
