Strap for Atum Primavera White Gold / Burgundy

The lug width of the Moritz Grossmann Atum MG-000980 is precisely 20 mm. This dimension is measured from the inner edge of one lug to the inner edge of the opposite lug, where the spring bars sit. To verify compatibility of a strap, use a digital calliper to measure the distance between the spring bar attachment points on your watch – on this model, the reading will be exactly 20 mm.

For a white gold Atum, we recommend a high-quality alligator leather with vegetable tanning as the primary choice, as it complements the luminosity of the white gold case without competing visually. A calf leather strap with natural patina offers an elegant, understated alternative. For sportier applications, a high-density cotton or canvas NATO in navy blue or anthracite grey provides striking aesthetic contrast. In all cases, select straps with medium thickness (1.4–1.6 mm) and artisanal finishing.

Remove the strap by extracting the spring bars from the lugs using a spring bar tool. Insert the flat tip into the slot at the bottom of the spring bar, apply gentle leverage to compress the internal spring, and carefully extract the bar. To install the new strap, reverse this process with the replacement spring bars. When working with white gold cases like the MG-000980, exercise particular care to avoid scratching the case.

Yes, provided the strap has been manufactured for a 20 mm lug width. Bespoke leather straps crafted specifically to this dimension will ensure perfect compatibility. Avoid forcing standard 18 mm or 22 mm straps onto your watch, as they will not seat correctly at the lugs. Always confirm that your chosen strap is sized for 20 mm before purchase.

A high-quality leather strap – whether alligator or vegetable-tanned calf – typically lasts 5–8 years with regular daily wear. Longevity depends on environmental humidity, frequency of wear, and maintenance practices. Prolonged sun exposure accelerates ageing. Superior artisanal straps develop a beautiful patina over time, increasing aesthetic appeal, although structural integrity generally diminishes after 7–10 years of intensive use.
