Strap for Lab 01 Grey

The lug width of the Milus LAB 01 is exactly 20mm. This atypical measurement requires specific 20mm straps, which are not compatible with standard lug widths of 18mm or 22mm. Always verify the technical specification before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

The choice depends on intended use. For formal elegance: vegetable-tanned alligator in dark brown or black. For casual versatility: vegetable-tanned calf leather with textured or smooth finishes. For sporting robustness: NATO in cotton-polyamide or FKM rubber. All must be 20mm lug width.

Use a spring bar tool to remove the pins securing the strap to the case lugs. Insert the flat tip into the lateral opening of the pin, pushing downward to release the spring. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new 20mm strap by aligning the holes on the band with the pins, then reinsert the pins until fully secured.

Yes, any 20mm lug width strap is compatible, provided that the constructive proportions (thickness, passant length) are coherent with the 40mm case. Custom-made artisan straps from milanostraps.it are manufactured to specific standards for this measurement, ensuring optimal fit and aesthetics.

An alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap lasts 3–5 years with regular use, developing natural patina. Longevity depends on environment (humidity, UV exposure), frequency of use, and maintenance. An FKM rubber strap lasts 5–7 years. Woven NATO straps last 2–3 years before requiring replacement.
