Frequently asked questions
What is the exact lug width of the Mido Ocean Star M026.430.17.041.00?
The lug width of the Mido Ocean Star M026.430.17.041.00 is 22mm. This dimension allows you to fit aftermarket straps specifically designed for this size. To verify correct measurement, place a ruler between the two lugs of the case, measuring from the inner edge of one lug to the inner edge of the other.
What type of strap is recommended for the Ocean Star M026.430.17.041.00?
The Ocean Star M026.430.17.041.00 is perfectly suited to multiple strap types. For elegance: leather in alligator or calf. For practicality and quick changes: premium textile NATO straps. To maximise the certified water resistance (200 metres): FKM rubber straps. Your choice depends on primary use: formal, sports or diving.
How do I change the strap on the Mido Ocean Star M026.430.17.041.00?
The operation requires a spring bar removal tool: insert it gently between the lug and the strap's pin, pushing laterally to extract the pin completely. Repeat on the other side. To fit the new strap, align the holes with the pins and apply pressure until they click into place. Avoid hammers or excessive force that could damage the case.
Can I use an aftermarket strap on a Mido Ocean Star M026.430.17.041.00?
Yes, absolutely. The strap must be specifically made for the 22mm lug width, like those offered by Milano Straps. Artisanal quality straps guarantee perfect compatibility and often surpass the construction quality of standard original straps. Always verify the width before purchasing.
How long does a leather strap last on a watch like the Mido Ocean Star M026.430.17.041.00?
A leather strap's lifespan depends on leather quality, usage and maintenance. A high-quality artisanal alligator or calf strap typically lasts between 3 and 5 years of daily wear. Repeated exposure to salt water reduces durability: in intensive marine environments, we recommend FKM rubber straps. Regular maintenance (cleaning and drying) significantly extends strap lifespan.
