Strap for Horological Machine N°6 Space Pirate HM6 Final Edition

The MB&F Horological Machines 60.SL.B features a lug width of 20mm. This dimension is critical for strap compatibility and should be verified using a digital calliper positioned directly between the inner lugs of the case.

The 60.SL.B demands straps that respect its austere visual language. Black satin alligator maintains the monochromatic integrity of the titanium case. Vegetable-tanned leather in grey-blue tones offers evolving patina. Grey-charcoal NATO and black FKM rubber align with the mechanical austerity of the piece.

Position the watch on a soft surface with the dial facing downward. Locate the spring bars (pass-through bars) connecting the strap to the case lugs. Use a dedicated watch strap removal tool to extract the bar by gently pushing from the opposite side. Repeat for both lugs. Insert the new strap by sliding the spring bar through the lugs until fully seated.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible. However, given the sculptural and rigorous character of the 60.SL.B, we recommend artisanal, high-quality straps that respect the geometry and aesthetic of the case. Avoid limp materials or discordant textures: the strap integrates the identity of the timepiece.

A quality strap with vegetable tanning typically lasts 3-5 years with daily wear. Durability depends on case weight (the 60.SL.B's titanium reduces stress) and leather treatment. The patina that develops is part of natural ageing. To extend lifespan, alternate straps and protect the leather from excessive moisture.
