Strap for Sixties Stainless Steel / Blue / Alligator / Pin

The lug width of the Glashütte Original Sixties 1-39-52-06-02-04 is 18mm. This measurement allows compatibility with a broad range of aftermarket straps, from artisanal leather to technical rubber, ensuring complete compatibility with bespoke models offered by Milano Straps.

For the Sixties 1-39-52-06-02-04, a naturally tanned alligator leather strap represents the most noble choice, enhancing the Bauhaus aesthetic of the timepiece. Alternatively, dark brown shell cordovan offers constructive compactness and evolving patina over time, while medium-brown smooth calf ensures daily and formal versatility.

Strap changing is performed via the spring bars visible at the watch lugs. Using a specialised tool (spring bar tool), gently press the bar inward to release the spring guide. Remove the original strap and install the new one, ensuring the bar clicks properly into the lug holes. We recommend having this operation performed at a specialist centre if you lack experience.

Yes, the 1-39-52-06-02-04 is fully compatible with 18mm aftermarket straps, in leather, fabric, or rubber. Milano Straps offers a specialised collection of artisanally crafted 18mm straps, customisable in colour, material, and finish, ensuring complete compatibility and elevated construction quality.

A quality artisanal leather strap used daily on the 1-39-52-06-02-04 typically lasts between 2 and 4 years, depending on use, storage, and tanning method. Vegetable-tanned leather tends to last longer than chrome-tanned leather, developing a protective natural patina. Periodic replacement is recommended not only for aesthetic reasons but also to prevent wear on the strap's internal structure.
