Strap for Elegant Collection 25.5 Automatic Stainless Steel / Diamond / MOP / Strap

The lug width is precisely 13.00mm. This specification belongs to the feminine models in the Elegant segment and represents the internal distance between the two metal lugs. It is a fixed dimension that excludes approximations and determines the compatibility of any aftermarket strap.

The ideal strap depends on usage and aesthetic preference. For formal occasions, a vegetable-tanned alligator or a subtle calf leather maintain the minimalist design intent. For daily wear, a textile NATO or a robust rubber offer durability without compromising legibility. The choice must respect the absence of ornamental excess that defines the model.

Strap replacement is accomplished via spring bars (elastic metal bars) that anchor the strap to the case lugs. These must be extracted gently using a proper tool, taking care not to scratch the steel. A spring bar tool or professional watchmaking instrument facilitates the operation. Professional assistance is recommended if you lack experience.

Yes, any strap with 13mm lugs is mechanically compatible. However, physical compatibility does not guarantee aesthetic coherence: the choice of material, colour, and finish must dialogue with the polished steel case and the minimalist proportions of this feminine dress watch.

Durability depends on material and usage patterns. Vegetable-tanned alligator typically resists 3-5 years if worn daily; thin calf tends to wear more rapidly (2-3 years), while textile NATO can last 5-10 years. Exposure to sun, perspiration, and impacts accelerates ageing. Conscious maintenance, such as rotating between multiple straps, significantly extends useful life.
