Strap for Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Co-Axial 34 Red Gold / Black

The lug width of the Omega Aqua Terra 231.53.34.20.01.002 is 18mm. This width is standard for the 34mm model version and it is essential to verify it before ordering an aftermarket strap, as other models in the same collection may use 20mm.

For the Aqua Terra 231.53.34.20.01.002 in Red Gold, we recommend burnt cognac alligator or shell cordovan strap for aesthetic coherence with the case material. For water use, high-quality marine rubber ensures grip and longevity. Dark brown vegetable-tanned calf offers urban versatility while maintaining elegance.

To change the strap, you need to remove the spring bars that hold the bracelet or strap in the lugs. Using a dedicated tool or small screwdriver, gently push the spring to release it from one side, extract the old strap and insert a new one of the same width (18mm) until the spring locks into place. If you are uncertain, Casati Milano offers the strap change service by appointment.

Standard calf leather is not ideal for prolonged saltwater exposure. If you intend to wear the Aqua Terra 231.53.34.20.01.002 in marine environments frequently, opt for an alligator or shell cordovan strap, which offer greater density and resistance. For true nautical use, marine rubber remains the most reliable technical choice, with a lifespan of 6-8 years of intensive use.

A quality leather strap (alligator, cordovan, or vegetable-tanned calf) on a daily-wear watch typically lasts 3-5 years. Lifespan depends on moisture exposure, maintenance frequency, and treatment. The Casati Milano atelier offers an 18-month warranty on bespoke straps, with the possibility of restoration and regeneration afterwards.
