Strap for Multifort Chronograph Skeleton Stasinless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The Mido Multifort Skelettiertes features a lug width of 23 millimetres. This measurement, also called anse width, represents the distance between the two strap lugs on the case. To verify compatibility, position a digital calliper between the upper lugs on the case: the internal measurement provides the precise specification needed to select the correct strap.

The ideal strap depends on your intended use. For formal elegance, we recommend an alligator strap in black with vegetable tanning and a stainless steel deployante, which amplifies the severity of the skeletonised dial. For everyday versatility, a chrome-tanned brown calf strap creates balanced contrast with the case. For sporty applications, a NATO strap in grey-anthracite canvas or a grey rubber strap with textured grain ensures practicality without aesthetic compromise.

To change the strap, use a spring bar tool to manipulate the suspension pins. Position the tool on the end of the spring under the lug, applying gentle pressure to compress the pin. Once released, extract the old strap, then thread the new strap onto the upper attachments and release the compressed pin into the lower hole. Ensure the pin is fully seated before wearing the watch.

Absolutely. The Mido Multifort Skelettiertes accepts 23mm aftermarket straps from any manufacturer, provided they are constructed with equivalent build quality. We recommend selecting straps with corrosion-resistant chrome-plated lugs and robust stitching. Full-grain leather straps, genuine alligator, NATO canvas, and vulcanised rubber are all compatible and offer superior aesthetic versatility compared to original straps.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on usage conditions and material quality. An alligator strap with vegetable tanning, if properly maintained (protection from excessive moisture, drying after water exposure), can last 3–5 years of daily wear. A chrome-tanned calf strap typically resists 2–3 years with regular use. Store the watch away from direct heat sources and occasionally apply leather balm to significantly extend strap lifespan.
