Strap for Airman 46 GMT Automatic Stainless Steel / White

The Glycine Airman GL0058 features a 24mm lug width. This dimension is specific to the 46mm case and is essential when selecting a compatible aftermarket strap. Measurement is taken as the distance between the two horizontal lugs connecting the strap to the case.

There is no universal choice; it depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For formal elegance, an alligator with fine grain or burgundy shell cordovan. For robust daily wear, a vegetable-tanned leather finished in the Florentine tradition with honey-tone stitching. For tactical practicality, a Cordura NATO or technical rubber strap.

Remove the watch from your wrist. Use a spring bar tool to apply gentle inward pressure on one of the horizontal lug pins, leveraging the strap until the first pin is freed. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap's pins into the case lugs and secure with the spring bar tool until both pins click into place.

Yes, any strap with a 24mm lug width is compatible. Milano Straps offers a complete range of artisanal straps in alligator, vegetable-tanned leather, shell cordovan, NATO, and rubber, designed and tested for this specific case configuration. Compatibility is guaranteed; final aesthetics depend on your choice of material and colour.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, with regular maintenance (occasional cleaning with a damp cloth, annual treatment with neutral balm), retains structural functionality for 5–7 years whilst developing a personalised patina. Alligator or shell cordovan straps demonstrate greater longevity, up to 8–10 years. Durability depends on usage intensity and proper storage when the watch is unworn.
