Strap for Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 50th Anniversary

The lug width is 20mm. This measurement corresponds to the distance between the pins that anchor the strap to the case lugs. It is the specific standard of the Speedmaster Professional and determines direct compatibility with aftermarket straps. The pins have a diameter of 1.8mm, compatible with standard spring bars.

Black anthracite alligator or deep burgundy shell cordovan represent the highest elegance choices. For historical authenticity, the NATO strap remains genuine. Vegetable-tanned calf leather offers the best balance between aesthetics, sustainability and durability, with lower investment compared to cordovan. The choice depends on intended use: daily wear, collecting or occasional.

The procedure is simple: position the watch on a stable surface, use a small tool to remove the pin from the case (proceed from one side to the other), then remove the old strap. Insert the new strap into the lugs and reinsert the pins, ensuring they are fully seated. No watchmaking expertise is required; however, Casati Milano provides consultative support for those who desire assistance.
