Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Nomos Glashütte Zürich 805.S6?

The Nomos Glashütte Zürich 805.S6 features a lug width of 20 mm. This measurement is standard for the model and reflects the proportions of the 39.90 mm case. It is essential to verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap, as even minor variations would make the strap incompatible.

Which strap pairs best with the Nomos Zürich 805.S6?

For the Zürich 805.S6, we recommend a strap in alligator with natural tanning or calf leather in vegetable tanning. These materials enhance the constructive sobriety of the Bauhaus design. Alligator, with its fine grain and irregular patina, creates an elegant contrast with the linear geometry of the case. Vegetable-tanned calf offers the advantage of a patina that evolves over time, personalizing itself with use.

How do I change the strap on my Nomos Glashütte Zürich 805.S6?

To change the strap, you must remove the spring bars from the lugs. Use a professional-quality tool to avoid damage to the case. Align the new strap with the upper lug, insert the spring bars while holding the strap in position, and repeat the operation on the lower lug. If you are not experienced, consult a professional watchmaker.

Are there compatible aftermarket straps available in 20 mm?

Yes, Milano Straps offers a complete selection of 20 mm straps compatible with the Zürich 805.S6. Available in leather (alligator, calf, vegetable tanning), NATO fabric, and FKM rubber. All straps are handcrafted and customizable according to the customer's aesthetic and functional preferences.

How long does a leather strap last on the Nomos Zürich 805.S6?

Durability depends on frequency of use and environmental conditions. A quality calf strap, exposed to regular moisture and perspiration, maintains structural integrity for 3–5 years. Vegetable-tanned materials tend to last longer due to their intrinsic robustness. Alligator, being more delicate, may require replacement after 2–3 years of daily use. Proper maintenance (periodic cleaning, drying) significantly extends useful life.
