Strap for Tetra biskuit

The lug width of the Tetra 484 is 18 mm, measured from lug to lug. This specification determines strap compatibility. To verify, use a digital calliper to measure the internal distance between the two lugs on the watch case.

Alligator leather with a hammered finish harmonises perfectly with the Bauhaus minimalism of the 484, whilst vegetable-tanned calfskin allows you to appreciate the natural colour evolution over time. For casual wear, a Cordura NATO strap offers practicality whilst maintaining visual coherence.

Use a spring bar tool to extract the metal pins (spring bars) that attach the strap to the watch lugs. Insert the new strap, ensuring the spring bars click into position. Verify that the strap is securely fastened before wearing the watch.

Any strap with an 18 mm lug width is compatible. Milanostraps offers a curated collection of 18 mm straps in alligator, calfskin, rubber, and NATO, selected for aesthetic harmony with the Tetra 484. All are ready to ship and customisable to your preferences.

A quality leather strap, such as alligator or vegetable-tanned calfskin, typically lasts 5–7 years with moderate daily wear. Longevity depends on frequency of use, moisture exposure, and ambient humidity. Regular maintenance and rotating between multiple straps significantly extends lifespan.
