Strap for Ludwig 175 Years Watchmaking Glashütte

The Nomos Glashütte Ludwig 205.S2 features an 18 mm lug width. This measurement represents the distance between the two lugs that hold the strap. You can verify this by measuring the lug opening with a digital calliper—a precise reading of 18.0 mm ensures compatibility with our artisanal straps.

Vegetable-tanned alligator represents the ideal choice from both aesthetic and construction perspectives. The ordered texture of the scales and the patina that develops over time enhance the Bauhaus simplicity of the dial. Alternatively, cognac-coloured calf or a neutral canvas NATO offer versatility whilst maintaining stylistic coherence.

Strap changing is accomplished via removal of the spring bar pins. Gently remove the previous strap using a dedicated tool (spring bar tool or flat screwdriver), then slide the new lugs onto the same pins and secure them from underneath. The operation takes minutes and requires no specialised equipment.

Yes, our Milanese artisanal straps are fully compatible with the 18 mm lug width. We offer various options in alligator, calf, FKM rubber and NATO, all crafted using sartorial techniques and ready for immediate shipping.

A premium leather strap (alligator or calf) with regular maintenance lasts an average of 5–8 years, depending on use and ambient humidity. FKM rubber straps retain structural integrity for 10+ years. Patina and wear marks add character to the strap without compromising functionality.
