Strap for Multifort Patrimony Rose Gold / Anthracite

The lug width of the Mido Multifort M040.407.36.060.00 is 19mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two vertical supports of the case where straps attach via spring bars. To verify this correctly, use a digital calliper and measure the distance between the inner edges of one lug and the other, excluding the spring bars. Precision to the nearest tenth of a millimetre is essential to ensure the new strap fits without lateral play.

For the Multifort M040.407.36.060.00, straps in alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf leather, NATO cordura, or FKM rubber are recommended. An alligator leather strap imparts sartorial dignity and a geometric texture that dialogues with the rationalist design of the case. For daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf offers elegance and durability. For a sportier aesthetic, a NATO strap in olive cordura emphasises the model's original functional character.

To change the strap, you will need the following tools: a dedicated spring bar removal tool or a rounded slim implement such as a needle. Gently remove the spring bars from the case, working from the inner side outwards to avoid scratching the case. Once the spring bars are removed, the strap detaches from the lugs. On the new strap, insert the spring bars into the dedicated holes, ensuring they remain parallel to the case. Apply gradual pressure until the spring bar is fully seated in the case seats.

Yes, numerous aftermarket straps are available that are compatible with the Multifort M040.407.36.060.00, thanks to the 19mm lug width. MilanoStraps offers a specialised selection of artisanal 19mm straps, crafted from alligator leather, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf, NATO, and technical rubber. All straps proposed are engineered to fit the 19mm lugs perfectly without tolerance compromise. You can personalise them according to your colour and finish preferences.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and intensity of use. A vegetable-tanned calf strap maintains functionality for 3–5 years of daily wear, developing natural patina. An alligator or shell cordovan strap, owing to greater tissue density, can last 5–7 years or more, improving aesthetically with age. Primary wear occurs in the flexion zone where the strap bends around the wrist. Proper maintenance, including alternating with other straps, significantly extends longevity.
