Strap for Senator Automatic Stainless Steel / Silver / Alligator / Pin

The Glashütte Original Senator 1-39-59-01-02-04 features a lug width of 18 millimetres. This measurement is standard for the model and ensures harmonious proportions between the 40-millimetre case and the wearer's wrist. It is essential to verify this measurement before purchasing an aftermarket strap to avoid mechanical incompatibility.

To fully express the German heritage of the Senator, we recommend straps in vegetable-tanned leather in dark brown, alligator in black, or shell cordovan. Vegetable-tanned leather develops an increasingly appealing patina over time. For more active contexts, a technical NATO strap or FKM rubber strap maintains the formal elegance of the timepiece whilst ensuring practicality.

To replace the strap, carefully remove the existing strap by extracting the lateral lug pins from the case using a spring bar tool. Verify that the new strap has an 18-millimetre lug width. Insert the new pins into the lateral lugs until they click securely into position. We recommend having this operation performed by a qualified watchmaker if you lack experience.

Yes. Milano Straps offers a carefully curated selection of 18-millimetre straps verified for mechanical compatibility with the Senator. All straps in the 18mm collection are ready for immediate dispatch and customisable according to your aesthetic preferences. We recommend vegetable-tanned leather, alligator, and shell cordovan to enhance the refined character of this model.

A high-quality artisanal leather strap, such as those by Milano Straps, typically lasts between 3 and 5 years with daily wear. Longevity depends upon frequency of use, climatic conditions, exposure to sunlight, and maintenance care. A vegetable-tanned leather strap develops a captivating patina and becomes increasingly supple over time. Superior initial material quality and handcrafted construction ensure longevity that exceeds industrially produced straps.
