Strap for Pharo Open Balance - Two-tone / brown leather strap

The lug width of the Limes Pharo U6282C-LA3.2 is 20 mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two support pins of the strap. It is essential to verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap, as even minor variations (such as 22 mm) will cause visual and practical instability on the watch.

The ideal strap depends on your intended use. For formal occasions, we recommend alligator with vegetable tanning or vintage calf leather with patina finish. For daily wear, a NATO fabric in neutral tones or calf leather with fine grain ensures versatility. Technical rubber is perfect for sports and more casual environments. All materials must be 20 mm and paired with anodised steel buckles.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar remover tool, available from specialist retailers. Remove the original strap by gently pressing the small lateral spring on each pin, then insert the new strap by aligning the pins into the appropriate holes. Atelier Casati Milano offers this service free of charge by appointment for purchases from our partner suppliers.

Absolutely. The Limes Pharo U6282C-LA3.2 accepts any certified quality artisanal strap with a 20 mm lug width. We recommend only established brands that guarantee premium materials (leather, textiles, hardware). Avoid low-quality reproductions, which would compromise the watch's value. MilanoStraps offers a curated selection of compatible 20 mm straps.

The lifespan of a leather strap varies according to usage and maintenance. Premium calf with vegetable tanning lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, developing a desirable patina. Alligator is more resistant and can last 5–8 years. Store the strap away from moisture, avoid prolonged sun exposure, and occasionally apply specific balms to extend its longevity.
