Strap for Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 30th Anniversary Apollo XI

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch 3560.50.00 has a lug width of 20mm. This measurement indicates the space available between the two lugs of the case where the strap is inserted. It is important to verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure proper fit.

The choice depends on usage. For formal elegance: natural alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather. For sporting and daily use: NATO in Cordura canvas or nylon. For versatility without maintenance: high-density vulcanized rubber. The black shell cordovan strap is an excellent compromise between durability and character, particularly appreciated for this model.

The strap is removed using a spring bar tool: insert the forked tip under the spring bar pin that supports the lug, press upward to release the pin, pull out the strap. Repeat on the other side. To install the new strap, align the pins and press until you hear a click. We recommend having a watchmaker perform this operation if you lack experience, to avoid scratches on the case.

Yes, as long as the strap has lugs compatible with 20mm width. Milano Straps offers artisanal customizable straps specifically for this size, crafted from premium materials such as alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, and shell cordovan. The Casati Milano atelier also creates bespoke custom straps by appointment, allowing you to choose leather and details directly.

A quality leather strap (alligator, vegetable calf, shell cordovan) lasts on average 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Lifespan depends on lug wear, maintenance (avoid prolonged moisture), and rotation habits with other straps. Milano Straps offers an 18-month warranty on all bespoke straps created by Casati Milano, covering manufacturing defects and materials.
