Strap for Evidenza 26 Quartz Diamond

The lug width is precisely 14mm. This measurement is specific to this model and significantly differs from industry standards (18mm, 20mm, 22mm). Measuring it correctly requires a digital calliper positioned perpendicularly to the internal lug holes, excluding the bevelled edges of the case.

Alligator remains the most aesthetically natural choice: the fine grain underscores the case's essential geometry, and the contrast with stainless steel creates visual depth. Vegetable-tanned calf leather appeals to those who appreciate patina development over time. Shell cordovan is reserved for those who embrace conscientious maintenance practices.

Remove the strap using a spring bar tool. Locate the small holes at the strap ends, insert the tool to compress the spring bar, and extract the old strap. Position the new strap into the lugs and press the spring bar until fully seated. Verify that the strap is symmetrically secured on both sides.

Although any 14mm strap is theoretically physically compatible with the lugs, artisanally crafted or customisable straps are strongly recommended. The rarity of the 14mm measurement in the standard market makes it difficult to find options that align aesthetically with this model's delicate proportions. Artisanal customisable straps offer superior design flexibility and construction quality.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) worn daily maintains structural integrity for 3–5 years. Longevity depends on factors such as humidity exposure, frequency of use, maintenance, and tanning method. Vegetable-tanned straps develop pronounced patina over time whilst retaining functionality. An 18-month warranty is standard for quality artisanal straps.
