Strap for Classics Jena / Stainless Steel / Grey

The lug width of the Laco Classics 862067 is 18mm. This dimension refers to the internal width of the case lugs that accommodate the watch strap. Verifying this measurement is essential before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure compatibility.

For the Laco Classics 862067, we recommend straps in vegetable-tanned alligator (cognac brown or black), vegetable-tanned thick calf leather, or vulcanised rubber for sports use. Your choice depends on intended use: alligator for formal wear, calf for versatility, rubber for outdoor activities. All must have 18mm lug width.

Changing the strap requires specific tools: a spring bar tool (small steel lever tool) and a well-lit flat surface. Position the spring bar tool on the lower side of the lug, apply gentle inward pressure until the spring mechanism releases, extract the metal loop, remove the old strap, and insert the new one by aligning the keeper. This operation is reversible and requires no professional expertise.

All straps with 18mm lug width are compatible, regardless of material or brand. Milano Straps offers a specialised collection of handcrafted straps in alligator, calf leather, NATO, and rubber—all verified for compatibility with the 862067. Selection should be based on aesthetic preference and intended use.

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts between 3 and 7 years with regular use, depending on frequency of wear, humidity exposure, and maintenance care. Leather subjected to intense perspiration ages more quickly. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and periodic rest intervals extend durability. Vulcanised rubber straps offer greater longevity, approximately 5-10 years.
