Strap for IFL Watches Perrelet Weekend GMT Atlas

The lug width of the IFL Watches Perrelet Weekend GMT Atlas is 20mm. This measurement is defined by the distance between the two spring bar holes (the small recessed points where the strap attaches to the case). To verify, measure the span between the strap attachment points at the case ends using a calliper or flexible ruler.

For the Perrelet Weekend GMT Atlas, we recommend vegetable-tanned alligator leather straps for formal wear, as they develop a subtle patina naturally over time. For sports use, a grey-blue or beige NATO canvas strap ensures practicality and aesthetic versatility. For aquatic environments or outdoor activities, FKM rubber guarantees total waterproofness and durability.

Strap replacement is straightforward: place the watch on a soft cloth and locate the two spring bars at the case extremities (20mm apart). Using a spring bar tool, press gently upward on the bar from below, freeing one strap end. Repeat on the opposite side and insert the new strap by aligning the spring bars into their dedicated slots. The operation takes less than two minutes.

Absolutely. Any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Perrelet Weekend GMT Atlas, regardless of brand. Quality aftermarket straps (natural leather, technical canvas, medical-grade rubber) often offer superior value compared to original straps and allow seasonal or stylistic rotation of your watch.

A premium leather strap (alligator or shell cordovan) with vegetable tanning, worn regularly, lasts 5–8 years before substantial maintenance or replacement is needed. Durability depends on sun exposure, ambient humidity, and frequency of use. A natural aniline leather strap develops an appealing patina over the years and ages beautifully; to maximise longevity, rotate at least two straps for the same watch.
