Strap for Seamaster PloProf Co-Axial Stainless Steel / White

The lug width of the Seamaster PloProf 224.32.55.21.04.001 is 24mm. This specific width, larger than the traditional 20mm or 22mm, is designed to support the weight of the 55mm case and allows the use of straps with greater structural thickness, necessary for professional use. You can verify compatibility by measuring the internal distance between the case lugs.

For the PloProf, the material depends on the intended use. Vegetable-tanned alligator is the most sophisticated and elegant choice, offering a patina that evolves over time. However, if the watch is intended for professional use in water, high-quality FKM rubber or ballistic nylon canvas maintain superior technical characteristics: flexibility even at low temperatures and no moisture absorption. Shell cordovan represents a fascinating aesthetic compromise, with excellent structural density.

The PloProf strap is replaced by removing the spring bars that connect the case lugs. Use a dedicated tool (springbar tool) to compress the pin without scratching the case. Ensure that the new strap has an exact 24mm lug width. If you are unsure of the procedure, contact an Omega-certified watch service center or Milano Straps for technical support.

Yes, any strap with a 24mm lug width is technically compatible, provided the width is exact. However, to ensure structural quality consistent with the instrument and durability over time, we recommend straps made of premium leathers (alligator, shell cordovan) or certified technical materials (FKM rubber, ballistic canvas). Milano Straps offers a complete collection of 24mm customizable straps, with finishes and materials selected to match the aesthetic of the model.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, use, and maintenance. Vegetable-tanned alligator, if properly maintained and protected from prolonged exposure to salt water without subsequent cleaning, can last 5-7 years with moderate daily wear. Shell cordovan is even more durable, with a potential lifespan of 7-10 years. FKM rubber, conversely, offers a useful life of approximately 3-5 years, after which it tends to stiffen. Atelier Casati Milano provides straps with an 18-month warranty and support for maintenance and replacement if necessary.
