Strap for Chyros Automatic - Silvered / black leather strap (Croco)

The lug width (ansa) of the Limes Chyros U6017-LA1.5 is 20mm. This size is compatible with all our strap collections designed for this specification. It is essential to verify that the spring bars or lugs of any replacement strap measure exactly 20mm to ensure a precise and secure fit.

For the Chyros U6017-LA1.5, we recommend alligator leather straps for formal occasions, vegetable-tanned calf leather for those desiring a naturally ageing patina, or robust NATO straps for a sportier aesthetic. FKM rubber is ideal for aquatic environments. Selection depends on intended use: formal elegance, daily versatility, or sports performance.

To replace the strap, you must remove the spring bars using a dedicated tool. Locate the gap between case and current strap, gently insert the spring bar remover to compress the spring mechanism, extract the old strap, and insert the new one. Ensure the spring bars are securely seated in the lug holes before wearing the watch.

Yes, all straps with 20mm lug width are compatible with the U6017-LA1.5, provided they feature standard straight spring bars. If the strap includes a deployante (folding clasp), verify that it is adjustable or compatible with your case width for optimal fit.

A quality leather strap, with regular maintenance (gentle cleaning and drying after exposure to moisture), typically lasts 3-5 years. Longevity depends on the tanning method (vegetable or aniline accelerate patina development), frequency of use, and climate conditions. Natural leather inevitably wears; this deterioration is part of the character of a handcrafted strap.
