Strap for Multifort Chronograph Quartz Stainless Steel / Grey

The lug width of the Mido Multifort M053.417.16.061.00 is 22mm. This is the usable space between the case attachment lugs. A compatible strap must have a width of 22mm to fit correctly without play or forcing.

The best strap depends on your use case: for an elegant-sporty profile, we recommend vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather or gummed calf. For those seeking durability and technical finish, genuine alligator is ideal. A cotton NATO offers versatility and quick changeability. FKM rubber is perfect for humid environments or outdoor activities.

To change the strap, obtain a spring bar tool. Position the watch on a soft surface. Insert the tool tip into the small hole at the base of each lug pin, apply gentle pressure and remove the pin. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new pins into the 22mm strap, then reinsert the pins into the case. Verify that they are securely locked.

Any artisanal or industrial strap with 22mm lugs is compatible. Always verify that the lugs are sized for 22mm usable space, not confusing this measurement with the total strap width. Milano Straps are bespoke-crafted for this width and guarantee certified construction quality.

A quality vegetable-tanned strap typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, developing a unique patina. Longevity depends on humidity, solar exposure, and cleaning frequency. Gummed calf is more durable (5–7 years). Shell cordovan can last over 10 years. FKM rubber is virtually inexhaustible. Regular maintenance and rotation with other straps significantly extends functional life.
