Strap for Belluna Sunray PVD / Black / Bracelet

The lug width of the Mido Belluna M024.630.33.051.00 is 21 mm. This specification is standard for the model and determines compatibility with any aftermarket strap. Always verify that the strap you purchase explicitly states "21 mm" as the lug width to ensure a precise fit without play or excessive tension.

The ideal strap depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For formal contexts, we recommend alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather, which enhance the case's sobriety. For daily sporting use, a heavy canvas NATO or vulcanised rubber strap offers practicality and resistance. Vegetable-tanned calf represents the versatile compromise: elegant yet resistant to the natural patination that develops over time.

Changing the strap requires a dedicated tool: a spring bar removal tool. Locate the case terminals where the strap attaches, position the extraction tool in the small lateral recess of the spring bar, apply gentle pressure to compress the internal spring, and carefully withdraw the old strap. Repeat on the opposite side, then insert the new strap by securing the spring bars into their respective housings. If uncertain, consult a professional watchmaker.

Yes, the Mido Belluna M024.630.33.051.00 uses the standard 21 mm lug width, making it compatible with an extensive range of artisanal and commercial straps. From milanostraps.it you will find leather straps in full-grain finishes (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), military NATO straps, synthetic and natural rubber straps, all constructed with precision to guarantee perfect fit with the Belluna's spring bars.

A quality leather strap with vegetable tanning maintains structural integrity for 3–5 years of daily wear, provided it receives proper care. Prolonged humidity exposure, salt perspiration, and thermal cycles accelerate ageing. Alligator straps tend to last longer due to leather density, whilst calf requires periodic cleaning with a soft damp cloth. The patina that forms is desirable and tells the watch's story; replacement becomes necessary only when the leather loses structural elasticity.
