Strap for Excellence Le Régulateur Lapis-Lazuli

The lug width is 22mm, measured as the distance between the two spring bar pins that pass through the strap. All straps with 22mm lug width are interchangeable on this model.

Natural vegetable-tanned calf leather represents the ideal choice, as its patina evolution harmonises with the brushed steel case. Alternatively, genuine Louisiana alligator offers superior formal elegance, whilst technical NATO straps ensure practical daily wear.

Remove the strap using a spring bar tool. Position the tool underneath the spring bar pin, apply gentle pressure to compress the internal spring, extract the pin and remove the strap. Repeat with the second pin. Installation of the new strap follows the reverse procedure.

All straps with 22mm lug width are compatible. The milanostraps.it collection includes artisanal leather, genuine alligator, shell cordovan, NATO straps and vulcanised rubber. Always verify that the strap has the correct lug width.

A quality leather strap treated with vegetable tanning lasts approximately 3-5 years with regular daily use. Durability depends on humidity exposure, cleaning frequency and usage intensity. A formal strap worn occasionally may last 8-10 years. Periodic maintenance such as cleaning and application of leather conditioner significantly extends longevity.
