Strap for Super Antarctic 35 Black - Beige Luminova / Stainless Steel / Brown

The lug width of the Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic 35013M16 is 18 millimetres. This measurement is the standard for straps compatible with this model, and corresponds to the exact distance between the two pins that attach the strap to the case.

The choice of strap depends on usage and aesthetic preference. For a formal approach, we recommend a cognac alligator or shell cordovan. For daily wear, a thick black or navy blue calf leather offers durability and elegance. For sporting or marine use, a black rubber strap is the most resistant solution to moisture and external agents.

Strap replacement requires a specific tool called a spring bar or ball remover. Position the watch with the lugs facing you, insert the tool under the pin and press gently upward until the pin releases from its seat. Repeat the operation for the second pin, then insert the new strap by aligning one pin first, then the other, ensuring they click completely into the seats.

Yes, any high-quality strap with an 18 mm lug width is compatible with the Super Antarctic 35013M16. We recommend straps from specialist manufacturers that guarantee precise tolerances and durable materials, such as natural vegetable-tanned leather, authentic alligator, or structured rubber.

A quality leather strap, with ordinary maintenance, typically lasts between 3 and 5 years before requiring replacement. Vegetable-tanned leather tends to last longer than calf, developing a desirable patina. Wear depends on exposure to moisture, perspiration, and frequency of use. A rubber strap, on the other hand, resists for 7-10 years before degrading.
