Strap for Metro Neomatik Champagner 1st Edition

The lug width of the Nomos Glashütte Metro 1105 is exactly 17 millimetres. This measurement must be taken between the inner edges of the lugs, perpendicular to the case axis. Any measurement error would compromise strap compatibility. For accuracy, we recommend using a digital calliper or ruler.

The Metro 1105 pairs exceptionally well with vegetable-tanned alligator or crocodile leather featuring a fine grain and deep black or brown tones. These noble materials respect the minimalist aesthetic of the case. For alternatives, smooth vitello or NATO fabric in slate grey, navy or beige offer versatility whilst maintaining elegance without competing visually with the dial.

Use a spring bar tool to remove the strap. Insert the flat blade gently between the lug and strap to compress the internal spring mechanism of the spring bar (the loaded pin), then extract the pin. Repeat on the opposite side. Reverse the procedure to install the new strap, ensuring both pins are firmly seated in the case lugs.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 17mm. High-quality artisanal straps in alligator, vitello or technical fabrics are fully compatible. Milano Straps offers 17mm straps specifically designed for this model, many with a deployante (folding clasp) that significantly improves comfort during extended wear.

A high-quality leather strap—whether vegetable-tanned alligator or full-grain vitello—maintains optimal performance for 18 to 36 months, depending on frequency of wear and moisture exposure. Full-grain leather develops a natural patina over time. Factors such as perspiration, sun exposure and humidity accelerate ageing. Periodic maintenance (cleaning and conditioning with specialist balm) extends longevity.
