Strap for Squad Watch Ocean / Stainless steel / Black

The Laco Squad Watches 861704 features a 24mm lug width. This is compatible with all 24mm <a href="https://milanostraps.it/collections/cinturini-orologi-per-misura-ansa-24mm">straps</a> in our catalogue. Measurement must be taken between the inner lugs of the case, excluding the side crowns entirely.

For the 861704, Tuscan vegetable-tanned leather in dark shades (Moro or Dark Brown) is the optimal choice. It creates sophisticated visual contrast with the steel and develops a natural patina over time. Alternatively, shell cordovan in bordeaux offers superior surface compactness and reflectivity, whilst grey-talpa NATO straps guarantee practicality and minimal weight for tactical deployment.

The Laco 861704 utilises a standard 24mm <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/misura-ansa">lug width</a> compatible with push-out or friction-fit springbars. To change the strap, gently push the springbars downwards from the lower lugs; align the new strap with the lug openings and verify secure seating. Never force: bars must move smoothly without unusual resistance.

Yes, the 861704 is fully compatible with aftermarket 24mm straps. Milanostraps.it offers an extensive selection of leather, NATO, and rubber straps dimensioned specifically for this <a href="https://milanostraps.it/collections/cinturini-orologi-per-misura-ansa-24mm">lug width</a>. Always verify that springbars are standard diameter (typically 1.6mm) to ensure complete compatibility.

A quality leather strap, worn with ordinary frequency (5-7 days weekly) on a 46mm watch such as the 861704, has an average lifespan of 3-5 years. The bending zone (at the wrist) experiences accelerated wear; vegetable-tanned leather ages gracefully and develops characteristic patina. Replacement is recommended when structural cracks appear or the leather loses elasticity.
