Strap for Atum Pure Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width of the Moritz Grossmann Atum MG-000496 is 18mm. This measurement corresponds to the distance between the two metal pins projecting from the watch case. It is the standard size for classical wrist watches of 37mm calibre and reflects the constructive tradition of Glashütte watchmaking.

The ideal strap for the MG-000496 must respect the aesthetic rigour of the Atum. Alligator leather in vegetable-tanned dark brown offers intrinsic classicism; shell cordovan provides a unique stratified patina; vegetable-tanned calf offers a balance between softness and solidity. A NATO strap in cotton or silk in neutral tones ensures practical versatility. Black FKM rubber represents the contemporary technical choice.

To change the strap, remove the watch from your wrist and place it on a flat surface. Use a spring bar tool to press the small elastic pin located beneath the lugs, releasing the old strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes at its ends with the case pins, then close by pressing until it clicks. Verify that the strap is firmly secured on both sides before wearing the watch again.

Yes, the MG-000496 accepts any strap with an 18mm lug width. High-quality aftermarket straps in vegetable-tanned leather or technical materials such as FKM rubber are fully compatible. Ensure that the chosen strap is visually proportioned to the case diameter (37mm) and that the pins are secure to avoid stress on the case.

An artisanal leather strap in vegetable-tanned leather has a lifespan of 3–5 years with daily use, varying according to climatic conditions and maintenance. Natural leather develops a patina that enhances visual character over time. A shell cordovan strap, due to its structural density, can last 5–7 years. Store the strap in a dry environment, avoid prolonged exposure to direct humidity and, periodically, treat the leather with natural wax to extend its useful life.
