Strap for Baroncelli Signature 39 Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width of the Mido Baroncelli M037.407.16.031.00 is 20 mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two lugs on the case and is essential for selecting a compatible strap. Measure precisely using a digital calliper between the inside of the lugs, perpendicular to the case.

The best strap depends on intended use. For formal contexts: black alligator with vegetable tanning and steel deployante, which develops natural patina over time. For daily elegance: vitello in structure grain or smooth finish in brown tones (chestnut, havana). For versatility: NATO canvas in beige or light grey. The 39 mm stainless steel case pairs beautifully with these materials whilst maintaining aesthetic balance.

Strap replacement requires a specific tool: a spring bar extractor. Position the removed watch on a soft surface. Insert the thin end of the extractor into the small lateral slot of the lug, pushing gently toward the case centre to release the spring. Once extracted, the strap disengages easily. Repeat on the other lug. Insert the new strap by aligning the lugs with the springs, then press gently until you hear a click.

Yes, any strap with a 20 mm lug width is compatible. Milanostraps.it offers a dedicated collection of artisanal leather straps (alligator, vitello, shell cordovan), NATO and rubber, all certified for this size. Choosing aftermarket straps enables complete personalisation of your watch, adapting it to different contexts without compromising quality.

The lifespan of a natural leather strap ranges from 3 to 8 years depending on usage and care. With vegetable tanning, leather develops accelerated patina through exposure to sunlight and natural skin oils, extending the visual lifespan of the strap. Regular maintenance (occasional cleaning, drying after perspiration) significantly extends longevity. Alligator or shell cordovan straps demonstrate greater durability due to the structure of the hide.
