Strap for Belluna Royal Gent Stainless Steel / Grey / Bracelet

The lug width of the Mido Belluna M024.507.11.061.00 is 20 mm. This dimension represents the internal distance between the two lateral lugs of the case. To verify it precisely, use a digital calliper positioned perpendicularly between the lugs, measuring the structural distance rather than the visual gap.

For the Belluna, high-quality alligator straps are ideal for a formal aesthetic, or vegetable-tanned calf leather for those who prefer a patina that evolves over time. A robust NATO fabric offers practical versatility, whilst rubber is perfect for daily wear without concerns. Your choice depends on intended use and desired wearing context.

Strap replacement requires minimal tools: a spring bar tool (or watch needle) and a stable surface. Position the watch with the strap facing downwards, insert the tool into the lateral spring bar slot, releasing the spring pin. Repeat on the opposite side, then insert the new strap onto the pins and reposition the spring bars until they click into place.

Yes, any aftermarket strap with a 20 mm lug width is technically compatible with the Belluna. However, we recommend evaluating construction quality and materials: an artisanal strap in alligator or vegetable-tanned calf significantly enhances the watch's aesthetic potential, whilst budget solutions compromise the overall effect.

A high-quality natural leather strap, subjected to moderate wear (5-6 days weekly), typically has a lifespan of 3-5 years before requiring replacement. Longevity depends on tanning method, thickness, ambient humidity, and frequency of use. Vegetable-tanned calf leather tends to last longer than alligator, developing a prized patina through natural ageing.
