Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the MB&F Legacy Machines 01.TL.W?

The 01.TL.W features a 20mm lug width, measured internally between the lug walls. This dimension is essential for selecting compatible aftermarket straps and reflects the constructive proportion of the 44mm titanium case.

Which strap material pairs best with the MB&F Legacy Machines 01.TL.W?

Alligator represents aesthetic excellence, offering natural patina that enhances titanium. For superior longevity, vegetable-tanned calf guarantees predictable ageing. Technical NATO straps impart sophisticated visual restraint, whilst structured rubber straps ensure practicality in dynamic environments.

How do I change the strap on an MB&F Legacy Machines 01.TL.W?

Strap replacement requires specialist tools to extract the lug pins without damaging the titanium case. It is advisable to entrust the operation to a specialised watchmaker or contact the Casati Milano atelier for professional assistance, ensuring correct alignment of the new lugs.

Can I fit an aftermarket strap on this MB&F model?

Yes, provided the strap is constructed with a 20mm internal lug width. It is essential to verify compatibility before purchase and select specialist suppliers such as Milano Straps, which guarantee artisanal construction and build quality comparable to the watch's pedigree.

How long does a leather strap last on an MB&F Legacy Machines 01.TL.W?

A quality alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap offers durability of 5–8 years with regular use and appropriate maintenance (periodic cleaning, avoidance of excessive moisture). The patina that develops is part of natural ageing, increasing aesthetic value over time.
