Strap for Conquest Classic Chronograph

The lug width of this model is 20 millimetres. You can verify it by measuring the distance between the two metal pins protruding from the case lugs. It is essential to respect this exact measurement to ensure proper attachment and harmonious visual proportion between case and strap.

Alligator in brown or cognac is the purist choice, enhancing the two-tone elegance without chromatic competition. For daily versatility, grained calf leather in dark brown or burgundy tones offers comfort and longevity. For sporting contexts, a canvas NATO or vulcanised rubber strap maintains chronographic functionality without distracting from the case's aesthetic.

Position the watch on a stable surface. Locate the pins connecting the strap to the case, typically positioned at the lugs. Use a spring bar tool to compress the small internal metal pin and remove the old strap. Insert the new strap pins into the housings and gradually release the spring until fully secured. If uncertain, consult a professional watchmaker.

Yes, any strap with 20 millimetre lug width is technically compatible. However, to maximise aesthetic harmony with the case's two-tone character and the Conquest's sport-elegant style, we recommend premium leathers such as alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, or shell cordovan. On milanostraps.it you will find a curated selection of customisable 20mm straps.

A premium leather strap typically lasts 3–5 years with daily use, depending on material quality, tanning method, and maintenance. Alligator and shell cordovan age beautifully, developing patina; calf requires periodic gentle cleaning with appropriate products. Prolonged exposure to perspiration, extreme humidity, and intense UV rays reduces durability. Casati Milano guarantees 18 months on bespoke straps and provides personalised maintenance advice.
