Strap for Legacy Machine FlyingT Coeur de Rubis

The lug width of the MB&F Legacy Machines 05.WSL.WCR is 20 millimetres. This measurement represents the distance between the two lugs (attachment points) on the case where the strap is inserted. It is essential to verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure compatibility and correct installation.

For a timepiece of this calibre, we recommend alligator straps in black or brown, which harmonise perfectly with the precious nature of white gold. Vegetable-tanned calf leather offers a more contemporary alternative, whilst textile NATO straps provide chromatic versatility. Silicone rubber is ideal for a more technical-sporty approach.

Strap replacement is accomplished through the spring bars located at the case lugs. Using a spring bar tool (a specific watchmaking instrument), gently compress the elastic bar that retains the strap, extracting the old strap and inserting the new one. We recommend performing this operation with care to avoid damaging the white gold lugs.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with this model. Milano Straps offers an extensive range of artisanal straps in this size, crafted from premium leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), textile NATO, and silicone rubber. All products are ready for dispatch and customisable according to the owner's preferences.

The longevity of a leather strap depends on the leather type and conditions of use. A quality artisanal alligator strap, with proper maintenance (periodic conditioning and water protection), has a useful life of 5-7 years in daily wear. Vegetable-tanned calf develops patina and ages more rapidly aesthetically, but remains functional for 4-5 years. Silicone rubber has superior durability, lasting up to 8-10 years.
