Frequently asked questions

What is the exact lug width of the Kobold Soarway KD212445?

The lug width of the Kobold Soarway KD212445 is 22 millimetres. This measurement is calculated as the distance between the two lugs on either side of the case: it is the decisive parameter for determining which straps are compatible. Always verify this dimension with precision before ordering an aftermarket strap.

Which strap is most suitable for the Kobold Soarway KD212445?

It depends on your usage. For daily elegance, we recommend an alligator or shell cordovan in vegetable tanning, which develops natural patina over time. To maintain the technical diver identity, a grey military NATO or vulcanised rubber strap are ideal. All these materials are compatible with the 22mm lug width of the KD212445.

How do I change the strap on the Kobold Soarway KD212445?

The KD212445 uses standard springbars. Obtain a springbar tool (specific lever for lugs), position the flat end under one springbar, apply gentle inward pressure and slide the old strap out of the lug. Then insert the new strap, ensuring the springbar locks correctly. Ensure the strap has a 22mm lug width for guaranteed compatibility.

Can I use an aftermarket strap on the Kobold Soarway KD212445?

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 22mm. Milano Straps offers a wide selection of leather, NATO and rubber straps compatible with the KD212445. Many quality aftermarket straps even surpass the original strap in terms of materials and craftsmanship, offering unique patina and superior durability over time.

How long does a leather strap last on the Kobold Soarway KD212445?

A quality artisanal leather strap, such as those offered by Milano Straps in vegetable tanning, typically lasts 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Durability depends on frequency of use, exposure to humidity and periodic maintenance care. Vegetally tanned leather develops fascinating patina over time and can be rejuvenated through regular cleaning and conditioning.
