Strap for Squad Watch Himalaya / Stainless Steel / Black

The lug width (also called spring bar distance) of the Laco Squad Watches 862106 is precisely 20 millimetres. This measurement defines the distance between the case lugs and determines compatibility with all aftermarket watch straps. Always verify this dimension with a digital calliper before ordering a replacement strap.

The ideal strap depends on your intended use. For formal elegance, we recommend vegetable-tanned calf leather or alligator leather; for tactical or sports use, a NATO fabric strap or vulcanised rubber strap excels. All 20mm-compatible models are available on milanostraps.it, customisable in colour and texture.

Remove the original strap by gently pushing the spring bars out from the case lugs (use a dedicated spring bar tool). Align the new strap's spring bars with the lug holes and insert them laterally until they click securely. This process requires precision to avoid scratching the case. If uncertain, contact Casati Milano for professional assistance.

All straps with a 20mm lug width are compatible. On milanostraps.it you'll find an extensive range of materials: calf leather, alligator, shell cordovan, NATO fabric straps, and vulcanised rubber straps. Every model is handcrafted and ready to ship.

A leather strap's lifespan depends on frequency of wear, care, and tanning method. A vegetable-tanned leather strap, with moderate daily use, typically lasts 2–4 years before showing signs of wear. The natural patina that develops is highly prized by collectors. Avoid prolonged direct moisture exposure and occasionally apply a protective balm.
