Strap for Presence 38.5 Quartz Stainless Steel / White / Bracelet

For the Présence, an elegant and versatile timepiece, we recommend lacquered calf leather for formal occasions, or alligator leather for those desiring a more pronounced texture. For daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf leather ensures natural patina development over time. Modern alternatives include FKM rubber straps for water sports activities, whilst maintaining the model's understated aesthetic.

Strap replacement is accomplished by removing the spring bars that connect the case lugs to the strap. Use a dedicated spring bar remover tool to prevent case damage. On models equipped with a deployante, remove the clasp from the old strap first. For those inexperienced with the procedure, we recommend having an authorised watch centre perform the operation to ensure proper assembly and case protection.

A quality leather strap, such as those crafted from vegetable-tanned leather, typically lasts 2-4 years with daily use. Longevity depends on humidity exposure, sunlight and the tanning method employed. MilanoStraps straps carry an 18-month warranty and can be serviced or replaced. Proper maintenance—avoiding prolonged water exposure and applying leather conditioners—significantly extends strap longevity.
