Strap for Multifort Chronograph Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of the Mido Multifort M005.614.11.031.00 is 23mm. This measurement is the perpendicular distance between the two spring bars and determines compatibility with aftermarket straps. A 23mm strap fits precisely into the watch's springs without play or forcing.

The choice depends on intended use. For semi-formal settings, alligator or vegetable-tanned calf offers elegance and progressive patina development. For sporting or aquatic use, a cordura NATO or FKM rubber strap guarantees practicality and durability. Quilted calf represents a versatile compromise between formal elegance and sports robustness.

The strap is changed by removing the spring bars from the lugs. Using a spring bar tool (or a thin flat implement), gently press the old strap outward to release the spring. Insert the new strap, aligning its end with the spring, and snap it into position. The operation requires care to avoid damaging the lugs.

Yes, any strap with a 23mm lug width is compatible. Milano Straps offers a curated collection of leather, NATO, and rubber straps specifically calibrated for this measurement, crafted in artisanal materials and superior to standard aftermarket straps.

A quality leather strap, with vegetable tanning, typically lasts 4–7 years of daily wear, depending on humidity exposure and maintenance. Regular care (dry cloth cleaning, occasional protective balm application) extends longevity. Alligator and shell cordovan are more durable; calf requires greater care.
