Strap for Khaki Aviation X-Wind GMT Chrono Quartz Stainless Steel / Black

The lug width is 22mm. This is the standard distance between the lugs on the case, measured shoulder to shoulder. All compatible straps must respect this dimension to ensure correct spring bar seating.

A NATO in ballistic nylon is the most authentic choice, aligned with the model's military aviation heritage. However, vegetable-tanned alligator in dark brown offers vintage sophistication, whilst brushed calf guarantees aesthetic balance. FKM rubber remains the most practical and durable option for intensive use.

Strap change is performed via the spring bar: with a dedicated tool, you compress the bar and extract it from its seat. The previous strap is then removed and the new one inserted. Caution is advised to avoid scratching the case. Milano Straps provides detailed instructions and support upon request.

Yes, all straps with 22mm lug width are compatible. Milano Straps catalogues exclusively tested items for the lug space, ensuring the spring bar passes without anomalous tension and the strap settles perfectly on the case.

Durability depends on use and tanning method. High-quality vegetable-tanned alligator resists 4–6 years with daily wear; brushed calf varies between 3–5 years. NATO in ballistic nylon easily surpasses 10 years. FKM rubber comfortably reaches 8–12 years. All materials require periodic maintenance to optimise longevity.
