Strap for Chronographs Atlanta / Stainless Steel / Blue

The lug width of the Laco Chronographs 861919 is 20 millimetres. This measurement represents the distance between the two lateral lugs of the case that connect the watch to the strap. It is essential to verify this measurement correctly before purchase to ensure complete compatibility with your chosen accessory.

The ideal strap depends on intended use. For formal elegance, we recommend alligator or calf leather with vegetable tanning in tobacco or navy tones. For sporty practicality, a cotton gabardine NATO strap delivers versatility. For humid or professional environments, black rubber offers complete water resistance and zero maintenance. All are available in 20mm format.

Strap replacement is performed by extracting the lateral spring bars using a dedicated tool (spring bar tool). Position the tool in the narrow gap between case and lug, press the bar until it catches the spring, then extract the old strap and insert a new one of identical 20mm lug width. The operation requires care to avoid scratching the case.

Yes, all aftermarket straps with 20mm lug width are fully compatible with the Laco 861919. MilanoStraps offers an extensive selection of handcrafted straps in leather, NATO, and rubber, all tested and ready to wear. The artisanal construction quality guarantees durability equivalent to or superior to original straps.

A vegetable-tanned leather strap typically lasts 3 to 5 years with moderate daily wear, depending on sun exposure, humidity, frequency of use, and maintenance. Vegetable tanning develops a pleasant patina over time, improving aesthetically. Rubber lasts longer (5-7 years) but gradually loses elasticity. NATO can last beyond 7 years without visible degradation.
