Strap for 1Tausend Automatic PVD Blue - Leather strap

The lug width is 22mm. This measurement allows fitment across an extensive selection of aftermarket straps, conforming to industry standards for tool watches of this case diameter (41.80mm).

For this tool watch, we recommend vegetable-tanned Italian leather (authentic ageing), shell cordovan (controlled patina), or alligator leather (structural elegance). For sporadic or wet environments, cotton NATO or synthetic rubber with fine grain maintain functionality whilst respecting aesthetic intent.

Acquire a spring bar removal tool (or visit an authorised service centre). Position the watch with lugs facing upward, gently compress the elastic pin, and slide the worn strap outward. Insert the new strap into the spring bar, release the pin: the procedure requires 2–3 minutes with appropriate tools.

Yes, any strap with 22mm lug width is compatible. However, strap thickness (typically 3.5–4.5mm) influences comfort and aesthetic alignment: we recommend standard gauges to minimise visual offset against case lugs.

A quality leather strap (vegetable-tanned, alligatore, or shell cordovan) under daily wear maintains structural integrity for 3–5 years. Patina improves during the first twelve months; replacement is advised when the strap exhibits compromised elasticity or critical cracking, not merely for aesthetic reasons.
