Strap for Ocean Star 600 Chronometer Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The lug width of the Mido Ocean Star M026.608.11.051.01 is 22 mm. Measurement is taken from the centre of one lug to the centre of the opposite lug, excluding the metal seats. This width accommodates genuine leather straps and professional-grade technical materials.

For formal environments, alligator leather with traditional tanning is recommended; for marine conditions, synthetic rubber with titanium deployant ensures durability. Vegetable-tanned calf leather offers an aesthetic compromise between elegance and practical robustness.

Strap replacement involves extraction of the spring bars connecting the case lugs to the strap lugs. We recommend consulting a specialised workshop such as Casati Milano to avoid accidental scratches on the ceramic and steel case.

Any strap with 22 mm lug width is compatible. Milano Straps offers a dedicated collection of alligator, calf, NATO and rubber straps, all verified for this specific lug width.

A quality leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf) lasts 5-8 years with regular maintenance and periodic rotation. Technical rubber prolongs lifespan to 10-15 years, whilst woven NATO resists indefinitely but requires frequent washing.
