Strap for Multifort Quartz Chronograph Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The lug width is 22mm, measured between the two holes where the strap connects to the case lugs. This measurement must be verified precisely using a digital calliper to ensure compatibility with aftermarket straps. At 22mm, the strap width provides balanced visual proportions on a 42mm case diameter.

The choice depends on intended use. For formal-sporty daily wear, we recommend Italian vegetable-tanned leather in Testa di Moro tone: it develops natural patina and harmonises perfectly with the satin-brushed steel case. For more refined contexts, American alligator in grey or cognac adds sophistication. Grey NATO straps preserve the watch's functionalist character whilst maintaining tactical versatility.

You will need a Y-shaped spring bar tool. Place the watch face-up on a soft surface. Insert the tool's tip into the small hole beneath the rear lug, press gently to eject the spring bar, and remove the old strap. Align the holes of the new strap and reinsert the spring bar with steady pressure until it clicks into place. Repeat on the opposite lug.

Yes, provided it meets the correct lug width (22mm) and the strap thickness does not exceed 8–9mm. Verify that the keeper loop (the metal tube integrated into the strap) is wide enough to accommodate the spring bar without strain. Italian artisanal leather straps are constructed specifically to these tolerances and offer superior comfort to generic alternatives.

A vegetable-tanned Italian leather strap, with moderate daily use and no constant water exposure, lasts 3–5 years before aesthetic replacement is desired. Longevity depends on ambient humidity, perspiration habits, and swimming frequency. Leather naturally develops creasing around the lugs after 2–3 years; this is not defect but narrative patina. Preventive conditioning with vegetable balm significantly extends strap lifespan.
