Strap for Endeavour Big Date, White Gold, Rhodié Dial

The Endeavour 1342-0200 features a lug width of 20 millimetres. This measurement should be taken with a caliper between the inner point of one lug and the inner point of the opposite lug, perpendicular to the attachment axis. The 20 millimetres represents the available space to accommodate the strap, excluding the fastening elements.

For a white gold Endeavour, an authentic alligator strap (black or cognac brown) offers supreme aesthetic harmony. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather guarantees elegance with natural patina development, whilst shell cordovan represents the pinnacle of sophistication. For daily wear, quality calf leather or a premium NATO maintain proportions without stylistic compromise.

The 1342-0200 utilises standard lug bar attachments. To change the strap: gently lever out the lug bar from both ends using a strap removal tool, extract the old strap, align the new strap holes with the lugs, reinsert the lug bar ensuring it sits flush on both sides. No specialised tools are required.

Yes, all aftermarket straps measuring 20 millimetres are compatible with the 1342-0200, provided they respect the lug width. We recommend selecting artisanal-quality straps (alligator, calf, shell cordovan, NATO) that honour the elegance and refinement of a watch in this category. Milano Straps offers handcrafted 20mm straps customisable online, ready for dispatch.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear and proper maintenance. Longevity depends on lug wear (the point of greatest stress), exposure to perspiration and humidity, and periodic conditioning care. Nylon NATO and FKM technical rubber straps offer superior durability (5–7 years) due to lower porosity, but require more frequent cleaning.
