Strap for Reverso Tribute Faridun Tests His Son

The lug width of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Q39334S2 is 20 millimetres. This dimension is standard for the model and ensures correct strap attachment to the case lugs. Always measure your lugs horizontally before ordering to avoid compatibility errors.

For the Reverso Q39334S2 we primarily recommend alligator leather in cognac, havana or dark brown tones, which pairs naturally with white gold. Alternatively, fine-grain calf in slate grey or dark blue offers a contemporary aesthetic, or shell cordovan for those seeking leather with ageing patina. Avoid technical rubber straps: the Reverso is a dress watch.

The strap is secured via standard lugs. Use a spring bar tool to remove the spring pins from the lug attachments. Insert the new strap by aligning the bars in the slots and press until you hear a click. Verify the strap is secure before wearing your watch. If you are inexperienced, consult a qualified watchmaker.

Yes, provided the strap has a certified 20mm lug width. Quality aftermarket straps (alligator, calf, shell cordovan from specialist tanneries) are fully compatible with the Reverso Q39334S2 and offer greater personalisation than OEM options. Ensure your supplier clearly specifies the lug width.

Durability depends on leather type and usage. High-quality alligator ranges from 3 to 5 years with daily wear. Shell cordovan lasts longer (5-7 years) due to fibre density. Aniline calf has shorter lifespan (2-3 years). Factors such as humidity, perspiration, sun exposure and wearing frequency influence longevity. With proper care (drying after rain, avoiding extreme moisture), straps last significantly longer.
