Strap for Speedmaster First Omega in Space Hodinkee 10th Anniversary

The lug width of this model is exactly 19 mm. This historic standard reflects the compact 39.70 mm case and is essential to ensure correct strap alignment. Always measure the inner space between the lug shoulders with a digital caliper to avoid incorrect orders.

The material depends on usage: vegetable-tanned alligator or black alligator offer formal elegance and exceptional longevity; vegetable-tanned calf develops natural patina over time; NATO nylon guarantees resistance and sports practicality. We recommend black alligator with white stitching for those seeking fidelity to the original design.

The Speedmaster uses standard 19 mm spring bars. Use a specialized spring bar tool to gently compress the bar ends, removing the old strap from the lug shoulders. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the bars, then release. Avoid forcing to prevent damage to the steel lug shoulders.

Yes, provided the lug width is certified at 19 mm. Verify that the strap is specifically constructed for this width: many manufacturers offer 19 mm as a standard size. Caution: some straps labeled as 19 mm may vary by ±0.5 mm, causing friction on the lug shoulders. Milanostraps guarantees zero tolerance.

A quality alligator or calf strap, subjected to moderate daily use, guarantees 2-3 years of life before significant wear. With vegetable tanning, the patina increases character without compromising functionality up to 4 years. The environment (humidity, sun exposure, sweat) accelerates aging. The Casati Milano warranty covers 18 months.
