Strap for Multifort Gent Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width is 22 millimetres. This measurement refers to the internal space between the two lugs of the case where the strap is housed. To verify it, use a digital calliper or flexible ruler, measuring the distance from lug to lug internally. Precise measurement is essential to ensure the proper fit of any aftermarket strap.

The ideal strap depends on intended use and personal preference. For formal-sportive styling we recommend Tuscan leather with vegetable tanning in dark brown or cognac tones, which enhances the gravitas of the tool watch. For aquatic environments or dynamic sports, a fluoroelastomer rubber strap offers superior grip and durability. A grey anthracite or black NATO maintains the model's functional minimalism. The critical factor is selecting a strap with precisely 22mm lug width.

The process is straightforward: obtain a spring bar tool (small metal extractor specific to watches) or a pointed substitute. Rest the watch on a stable surface and, using the spring bar tool, gently press towards the centre of the lug to relax the internal spring that secures the strap. Once loosened, the strap will slide away without force. Insert the new 22mm strap in the same manner, ensuring the spring anchors correctly at both positions.

Yes, provided the lug width is precisely 22mm. Thousands of certified quality aftermarket straps (leather, NATO, rubber, alligator, shell cordovan) are manufactured to this specification. Before purchasing, always verify that the vendor specifies 22mm. Many online platforms and specialist artisans offer custom straps for this width, allowing you to completely personalise your Multifort's appearance.

A vegetable-tanned leather strap of quality, worn daily on a wrist, has an average lifespan of 4–6 years before replacement is required. Longevity depends on factors including perspiration exposure, humidity, solar radiation and regular maintenance. An alligator or shell cordovan strap can exceed 10 years. A polyamide NATO or rubber strap offers comparable durability but different performance profiles against environmental factors. Periodic maintenance with leather-specific creams significantly extends useful life.
