The Endurance U8787B-LA2.5, seen from the bench

The Limes Endurance U8787B-LA2.5 is a 41.80mm stainless steel sports chronograph embodying Bauhaus design principles for pilot watches. It features the Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement with 38-hour power reserve, offering hours, minutes, seconds, and date window. The frosted sapphire crystal reduces glare for improved legibility, while the screw-down crown ensures 300m water resistance. The 22mm lug width is proportionally calibrated for this case diameter and facilitates easy strap changes across different materials.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Limes Endurance U8787B-LA2.5?

The lug width of the Limes Endurance U8787B-LA2.5 is 22mm. This measurement ensures complete compatibility with all 22mm straps in the Milano Straps collection, whether leather, fabric, or rubber, matching perfectly with the 41.80mm case diameter.

Which strap is most suitable for the Limes Endurance U8787B-LA2.5?

For the U8787B-LA2.5, we recommend calf leather in traditional Florentine vegetable tanning (burnt tobacco or pearl grey tones) to complement the Bauhaus purity of the watch. Alternatively, alligator with a regular grain in graphite tones emphasises the technical character. NATO straps in heavy cotton suit a sportier, more informal interpretation.

How do I change the strap on the Limes Endurance U8787B-LA2.5?

Strap replacement is straightforward: place the watch on a soft surface, use a spring bar tool to carefully remove the two elastic pins at the case ends. Insert the new pins into your compatible 22mm strap and reinsert in the same manner. Ensure the pins remain parallel to the case throughout the operation.

Can I use a non-original third-party strap on this Limes?

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is 100% compatible with the U8787B-LA2.5. Milano Straps offers an extensive selection of 22mm straps in leather, NATO, rubber, and shell cordovan, all tested for fit and finish with this case's proportions.

How long does a leather strap last on this watch?

A quality calf or alligator strap (vegetable or chrome-free tanned) typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, depending on exposure to water, humidity, and perspiration. The U8787B-LA2.5's sporting intent suggests rotating between at least two straps to extend the life of both and adapt to different use contexts.
