Strap for Quartz Titanium / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of the SBGV229 is 20mm. This standard is determined by the lug width of the 40mm case, and represents the optimal proportion between the dial diameter and the strap width. All 20mm straps are compatible with this model.

The best strap for the SBGV229 is high-quality alligator, which dialogues magnificently with the brushed titanium case. Alligator with vegetable tanning offers a natural patina that evolves over time. Excellent alternatives include vegetable-tanned calf leather (for a more pronounced patina) and a NATO strap in cordura for sports use.

To change the strap, use a spring bar remover to gently remove the pins that connect the bracelet to the case lugs. Position the tool in the small space between the lug and pin, push inward to compress the spring, then extract the pin. Repeat on both sides, then insert the new pins into the compatible 20mm strap.

Yes, the SBGV229 accepts any aftermarket strap with a 20mm lug width. Compatibility is guaranteed by the standard lug diameter. We recommend artisanally crafted straps with noble leathers (alligator, shell cordovan, calf) to achieve optimal aesthetic and qualitative balance with your timepiece.

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Durability depends on usage intensity, climate conditions, and material care. Alligator tends to last longer than other leathers, developing a fascinating patina over time. Standard warranty: 18 months.
