Strap for X-Ray

The lug width of the Itay Noy X-Ray XRAY6497INVG is 20 millimetres. This measurement is specific to the model and reflects the proportional balance between the 41.50mm case and the minimalist overall design. When purchasing a replacement strap, always verify compatibility with standard spring bar attachments rated at 20mm.

The ideal strap depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For formal elegance, we recommend alligator with fine grain in cognac brown or satin black. For daily versatility, Italian leather with vegetable tanning and natural patina. For sport or humid environments, FKM rubber in black or cotton-polyester NATO. The key is maintaining visual coherence with the case's architectural transparency.

Position the watch on a soft cloth with the strap facing upwards. Use a spring bar tool or small flat screwdriver to press downwards on the spring bars at the case lugs. Once compressed, the spring bar slides out from the attachment holes. Align the new strap's attachments, reinsert the spring bar, and release: you will feel a slight clicking sensation confirming proper seating. Repeat on the opposite side.

Yes, absolutely. Any strap with a 20mm lug width and standard spring bar attachments is compatible with the XRAY6497INVG. Milanostraps offers an extensive range of artisanal straps in leather, NATO, and rubber, all certified for 20mm sizing and ready for dispatch. Always verify dimensions before purchase to ensure error-free compatibility.

A quality leather strap, such as those handcrafted by Milanostraps, typically lasts 2–4 years with moderate daily wear. Longevity depends on usage factors (humidity exposure, perspiration, cleaning frequency) and leather type. Vegetable-tanned leather develops a noble patina and may last longer with proper care. FKM rubber, conversely, resists degradation for 5–7 years under normal conditions, offering greater durability though less aesthetic character development over time.
