Strap for Speedmaster Co-Axial 38 Stainless Steel / Grey / Bracelet

The lug width of this 38mm Speedmaster is 18mm. This measurement corresponds to the space between the two case lugs where the strap is inserted via spring bars. It is essential to verify that your strap is compatible with this dimension before purchase.

For this satin-finished steel Speedmaster we recommend genuine alligator in dark brown for professional sobriety, vegetable-tanned calf for natural aging, cotton-silk NATO for sporty style, or FKM rubber for versatility in humid environments. The choice depends on your use case and personal color preferences.

The strap is replaced by removing the spring bars from the case lugs using a specialized spring bar tool. Gently push the bars inward through the small spring, then withdraw them and insert the new ones into the new strap. This step requires care: if uncertain, consult an expert or the official Omega service center.

Any strap with an 18mm lug width is compatible with this Speedmaster. On milanostraps.it you will find a selection of handcrafted straps in alligator, calf, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned leather, and NATO, all customizable with personalized initials and stitching thread options.

Durability depends on the material, tanning method, and usage. A vegetable-tanned calf strap under daily use in normal environments typically lasts 3-5 years before showing significant signs of wear. Alligator and shell cordovan are more resistant and can exceed 5-7 years. Handcrafted straps from milanostraps.it include 18-month warranty and can be regenerated or reconditioned through Casati Milano.
