Strap for Flagship 26 Automatic Two Tone Champagne

For everyday elegance, aniline-dyed calf offers a texture that naturally evolves. Rubber or NATO straps are ideal for casual summer contexts whilst maintaining correct proportions.

The procedure requires a spring bar tool. Insert the small hook into the lateral openings of the case to release the spring bar extremities, then remove the old strap. Align the new strap with the lugs and press gently until the safety click engages. Always verify that the strap is correctly secured before wearing the watch.

A quality leather strap, if subjected to regular maintenance (drying after water contact, occasional application of specific balm), maintains structural integrity for 4-6 years in daily use. The patina that develops over time is characteristic and desired. Factors such as humid climate, perspiration and frequency of use accelerate ageing.
