Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the MB&F Horological Machines 20.DCTTL.B?

The MB&F 20.DCTTL.B features a 20mm lug width. This dimension is determined by the case architecture and is essential for strap compatibility. Always verify measurement with a digital calliper before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

Which strap is best suited for the MB&F 20.DCTTL.B?

We recommend an alligator strap with medium to large grain texture in dark tones (black, brown, antracite) for the 20.DCTTL.B. Alligator enhances technical sophistication without visually competing with the movement. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather or NATO straps offer contemporary approaches.

How do I change the strap on my MB&F Horological Machines?

To change the strap, use a spring bar tool to gently remove the spring bar (elastic pin) from one lug. Extract the old strap, align the new strap's lug hole with the spring bar, and reinsert the pin into the opposite lug. Motion should be smooth—never force.

Can I use an aftermarket strap on this watch?

Yes, any strap with 20mm lug width is compatible with the 20.DCTTL.B. We recommend premium watchmaking-grade leather (alligator, shell cordovan, calf) or robust synthetic materials like NATO and rubber. Always verify that the spring bar is easily removable.

How long does a leather strap last on a watch like the MB&F 20.DCTTL.B?

A quality leather strap's lifespan depends on usage and care. Premium alligator lasts 3-5 years with daily wear, developing natural patina. Vegetable-tanned calf has similar longevity. Rubber and NATO straps offer greater durability (5-7 years) but less aesthetic character. Protection from moisture naturally accelerates ageing.
