Strap for Aquatimer Chronograph Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The lug width of the IW3768-04 is 22 millimetres. This measurement should be verified by positioning a digital calliper on the inner shoulders of the lugs. Precise measurement is essential to avoid purchasing incompatible straps.

Alligator represents the premium choice for this model: the natural texture and evolving patina harmonise perfectly with the vintage spirit of the chronograph. Vegetable-tanned calf is an excellent alternative for daily wear, whilst rubber is ideal for intensive underwater operations.

The change requires the use of a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) to release the retaining pins at the lugs. It is advisable to perform the operation on a soft surface to avoid scratching the case. If you lack experience, consult a professional watchmaker.

Yes, any strap with a lug width of 22mm is compatible. However, we recommend choosing thicknesses consistent with the sporty-elegant style of this diver: overly thick or thin straps alter the aesthetic and ergonomic balance of the model.

Longevity depends on the material and usage. An alligator in vegetable tanning, with regular maintenance and drying after water exposure, maintains structural integrity for 3-5 years of daily wear. Fluorated rubber exceeds 10 years. Lower quality straps degrade within 12-18 months.
