Vegetable-tanned calf leather delivers artisanal character and visible ageing. Shell cordovan provides superior durability and distinctive metallic patina formation. For practicality, grey or navy NATO fabric maintains the sport watch profile.

Straps connect via spring bars (lug bars). Using a strap removal tool or small flat screwdriver, gently press the internal spring to extract each bar from the case. Align the new strap holes with the lugs and insert both bars, ensuring the springs are fully seated. Confirm both bars are securely positioned before wearing the watch.

A quality leather strap (alligatore, calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 3–5 years with moderate daily wear. Longevity depends on sun exposure, humidity, perspiration contact, and maintenance. Applying protective conditioner periodically and allowing the strap to air-dry after saltwater contact significantly extend useful life.
