Strap for Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial 45.5 Stainless Steel / Diamond / Black / Alligator

The lug width is 22mm. This specification is crucial for online strap purchases: not all dive watches share this width, so you must always verify that the strap is specifically designed for 22mm to avoid excessive cutting or poorly proportioned lugs.

It depends on use: for formal-smart casual contexts, vegetable-tanned alligator offers elegance and natural aging. For actual diving, FKM rubber or NATO straps are preferable as they do not rot in salt water. Japanese shell cordovan represents the most prestigious compromise, developing an authentic patina over time.

The process requires a spring bar tool to access the spring pins at the strap ends. Position the tool in the small hole of the spring, compress toward the center of the case and extract the pin. Repeat on the other side, then remove the old strap and insert the new one. Verify that the spring clicks correctly into the seat to prevent loss during use.

Durability depends on material and use: vegetable-tanned alligator resists 3-5 years with ordinary maintenance (drying after moisture contact). Calf is more sensitive to water, while shell cordovan can last 7-10 years if protected from prolonged humidity exposure. In frequent salt environments, switching to rubber or NATO strap extends the life of the leather strap.
