Strap for Boulton Quartz Small Second Yellow Gold / Silver

For the H13431553, we recommend an alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather strap in brown, burgundy, or black tones. These materials enhance the vintage Art Deco character of the watch and create aesthetic contrast with the stainless steel case. Alternatively, a grey or navy NATO strap offers contemporary practicality whilst maintaining historical coherence.

Strap replacement is straightforward: use a dedicated spring bar tool to compress the lug springs from both sides, then gently extract the old strap. Insert the new strap by aligning one end in the lug first, then compress the opposite lug and allow the spring to click into place. Verify that the strap is secure on both sides before wearing.

A high-quality strap with vegetable tanning and artisanal construction typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear. Durability depends on frequency of use (daily versus occasional), climate, perspiration, and maintenance. Well-cared-for leather—dried after moisture exposure, stored away from excessive heat—can last 7–10 years. The patina that develops over time is part of the charm of a natural leather strap.
