Strap for Reverso Classic Medium Duetto Stainless Steel / Silver

The Reverso 2588420 is equipped with an 18-millimetre lug width. This measurement is specifically calibrated to the compact proportions of the case (24.40 mm in diameter) and ensures a perfectly balanced aesthetic ratio. It is essential to verify strap compatibility by measuring the space between the lug pins, rather than relying solely on size declarations.

For the Reverso 2588420, we recommend alligator leather with vegetable tanning for an authentically vintage aesthetic tied to the model's history, or aniline calf for a patina that evolves over time. Shell cordovan offers superior nobleness and thickness, though with initial stiffness. For more dynamic use, canvas NATO or high-quality rubber support the design's sporty nature without competing visually with the case.

Strap replacement requires extraction of the pins connecting the previous strap to the case. Using a dedicated tool (spring bar remover), gently press the pin inward until one end is freed, then carefully extract the pin. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes and reinsert the pin, verifying it is fully locked. Avoid improvised tools that could scratch the case.

Yes, any strap with an 18-millimetre lug width is compatible, provided the width is verified with precision. Artisanal straps allow for significantly superior calibrated fitting compared to standard models, ensuring the strap slides without forcing and does not create unwanted visual gaps between the case body and leather.

A high-quality natural leather strap (alligator, aniline calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts between 4 and 8 years with moderate wear and regular maintenance. Longevity depends on frequency of use, moisture exposure, and the ageing of vegetable-tanned leather. Proper strap conditioning every 12–18 months significantly extends useful life and promotes patina evolution.
