Strap for GrandeVitesse Tachymeter Black Bracelet

The lug width is 20mm. This measurement refers to the perpendicular distance between the two internal shoulders of the case where the strap attaches. It can be verified using a digital calliper positioned horizontally between the threaded lugs.

The choice depends on usage context and personal preference. Alligator offers sobriety and longevity; shell cordovan enhances materiality through light-reflecting sheen; vegetable-tanned calf represents a compromise between aesthetics and maintenance; natural rubber is ideal for environments with significant climate variation.

The lugs are threaded, so the strap is attached by first removing the shanks of the old strap and then inserting the new one. It is advisable to use a dedicated tool or consult an expert to avoid damage to the lugs. Length measurement must be precise to ensure correct fit on the wrist.

Yes, provided the strap has a 20mm lug width. Any strap of this measurement, whether made of leather or other compatible material, can be fitted to the model. It is recommended to verify the dimensions before purchase.

Durability depends on the material and usage. Alligator or vegetable-tanned calf can last 3-5 years with regular maintenance. Shell cordovan, thanks to its density, can exceed 5 years if carefully maintained. Constant exposure to moisture and heat accelerates leather ageing.
