What I'm asked about the Laarvee Crashed Submariner PEA001-SS-NN
What strap size does the Laarvee Crashed Submariner PEA001-SS-NN take?
The Laarvee Crashed Submariner PEA001-SS-NN needs 20 mm between the lugs, usually 16 mm at the buckle. It's the size I've been fitting on it for years.
Can the strap on the Laarvee Crashed Submariner PEA001-SS-NN be changed?
Yes. It has spring bars between the lugs: with the right tool the strap comes off in a minute. If you'd rather not risk a scratch, I do it in the workshop.
Can I put a leather strap on the Laarvee Crashed Submariner PEA001-SS-NN?
Yes, in 20 mm leather, as long as you don't wear it in the water: leather doesn't like the sea or the pool. For days in the water, rubber. On a 40 mm diver I go for a full-thickness strap, not a thin one.
Which strap do you recommend for the Laarvee Crashed Submariner PEA001-SS-NN?
Rubber if you wear it in the water; otherwise a 20 mm calf strap, full thickness. You'll find it ready in the 20 mm collection. If you'd rather have something built on your wrist, the Casati atelier.

Frequently asked questions
What strap is best for the Laarvee Crashed Submariner?
The ideal strap depends on the aesthetic interpretation you wish to emphasise. For an elegant-anarchic approach, we recommend natural finish alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather in dark brown tones, which create contrast with the steel. For a minimalist-sports style, NATO straps in ballistic nylon with a deployant clasp offer chromatic versatility. FKM rubber is the most provocative choice, accentuating the "crashed" character of the case.
Can I use a third-party aftermarket strap on this model?
Absolutely. Any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the PEA001-SS-NN. Milano Straps artisanal straps are specifically crafted for this width and guarantee perfect fit whilst maintaining aesthetic and functional integrity. Always verify that the strap is designed for 20mm before purchase.
How long does a leather strap last on this watch?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, daily use, and maintenance. A high-quality alligator or shell cordovan strap, worn regularly, lasts 3-5 years before showing significant signs of wear. A vegetable-tanned calf strap may last 2-4 years, developing a characteristic patina in the process. Proper maintenance—limited humidity exposure and periodic cleaning with soft cloths—significantly extends strap longevity.
