Strap for Multifort TV Big Date PVD / Blue

The lug width of the Mido Multifort M049.526.37.041.00 is 20 mm. This measurement is standard for this model and is critical when selecting a compatible aftermarket strap. Any replacement strap must be specifically constructed for a 20 mm width to ensure precise fitting without excessive play.

The ideal strap depends on intended use. For formal elegance, we recommend alligator or shell cordovan. For everyday versatility, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers the optimal balance. For sports-oriented wear or humid environments, NATO or FKM rubber provide practicality and durability. All Milano Straps 20 mm offerings are fully compatible with your Multifort.

Strap replacement on the Multifort requires extraction of the spring bars (lugs) connecting the strap to the case. Using a dedicated spring bar tool, apply inward pressure on the lug ends to compress the internal spring and slide the bar out. This operation can be performed at home with care or entrusted to professionals. We recommend visiting Casati Milano atelier for expert strap change and personalised consultation.

Yes, absolutely. The Multifort M049.526.37.041.00 accepts any strap calibrated for a 20 mm lug width. Milano Straps provides a curated selection of straps in premium leather, NATO, and technical rubber, all constructed with micrometric tolerance to guarantee compatibility and mechanical safety with this specific model.

Lifespan depends on material and intensity of use. A vegetable-tanned calf strap typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear. Shell cordovan, due to its density, achieves 5–7 years. Alligator offers similar longevity to calf. The natural patina developed over time is not degradation but acquired character. Periodic strap replacement forms part of routine watch maintenance.
