Strap for Club Campus 36 Nonstop Red / See-Through

The Nomos Glashütte Club 716.GB features a lug width of 18 millimetres. This measurement is standard across all Club variants, regardless of dial colour or case material. To measure the lug width correctly, use a calliper positioned from the inner right shoulder to the inner left shoulder of the seat where the strap inserts into the watch case.

The optimal strap choice depends on intended usage. For formal occasions, we recommend crocodile with vegetable tanning in cognac tone, which reflects the Bauhaus austerity of the Club. For daily formal wear, Italian calf leather with natural patina in dark brown. For casual contexts, grey griptape NATO offers practicality without compromising the watch's sober identity. Rigid rubber is not recommended, as it contradicts the dressy character.

The Club uses fixed lugs with spring bars. Procedure: 1) obtain a spring bar tool (small pointed lever); 2) position the tool tip under one inner lug, applying downward pressure; 3) the upper end of the spring bar retracts slightly, allowing strap removal; 4) repeat on the other side. The operation requires care to avoid scratching the case. If uncertain, consult a qualified watchmaker.

Yes. Any strap with an 18-millimetre lug width is compatible with the Club 716.GB. This measurement is standardised internationally. However, we recommend selecting a high-quality strap—vegetable-tanned leather, textile NATO, or soft rubber—to complement the Bauhaus aesthetic of the watch. Avoid low-quality synthetic straps or those with ostentatious finishes.

A high-quality leather strap (calf, crocodile) typically lasts 3–5 years with daily use and proper maintenance. Longevity depends on: frequency of wear, environmental humidity, water exposure, and perspiration. With vegetable tanning, leather matures naturally, acquiring patina; this is not degradation but intentional ageing. Well-maintained straps can be restored or reconditioned after 5–7 years of service.
