Strap for Endeavour Cylindrical Tourbillon MB&F Ice Blue

The Endeavour 1810-1205 features a 20mm lug width, a standard measurement in haute horlogerie. This width has been calibrated to maintain the visual proportions of the 42mm stainless steel case. To measure the lug width correctly, position a calliper between the case lugs where the bracelet connects: the internal distance should be exactly 20mm.

The optimal strap choice depends on intended use. For maximum elegance, we recommend hand-tinted alligator in neutral tones (mid-brown, smoky grey) that reflects the aesthetic minimalism of the smoked dial. Shell cordovan subjected to vegetable tanning represents an excellent alternative for those who appreciate a patina that evolves naturally over time. For contemporary sporting contexts, a thick cotton NATO or certified FKM rubber offer versatility and durability. All straps must feature a 20mm lug width and thickness consistent with Moser's aesthetic language.

If your 1810-1205 features an integrated bracelet, strap replacement requires specialised expertise and should be entrusted to an experienced watchmaker. If the model has removable lugs (spring bars), the procedure is straightforward: gently remove the tension springs positioned between the case lugs and the current strap, extract the old strap and insert the new one, aligning it with the case guides. We recommend consulting the Casati Milano atelier, which operates by appointment, to ensure impeccable handling of your timepiece.

Yes, Milano Straps offers a comprehensive collection of aftermarket straps compatible with the 20mm lug width. All our straps are crafted from high-end horological materials: hand-tinted alligator, shell cordovan, French Taurillon calf, thick cotton NATO and certified FKM rubber. Each strap is available in multiple shades and finishes, allowing you to personalise the Endeavour according to your aesthetic preferences whilst maintaining the quality standards demanded by a timepiece of this calibre.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material, usage and maintenance. A high-quality alligator or cordovan strap subjected to vegetable tanning typically lasts 3-5 years with daily wear, developing a fascinating patina over time. French Taurillon calf offers similar durability but with different ageing characteristics. Regular maintenance—gentle cleaning with a damp cloth, avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture and direct heat—significantly extends strap longevity. We recommend annual inspection by a specialist watchmaker, particularly if the Endeavour is worn in high-exposure environments.
