Strap for Speedmaster Michael Schumacher Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet / The Legend Silver

The lug width is 20mm, a specific standard for this model. To verify, measure with a digital caliper the distance between the two case lugs: it must correspond exactly to 20mm. Do not confuse it with the lug height (spring bar positioning), which remains standard.

We recommend vegetable-tanned alligator for elegance and evolving patina, brushed calf for daily durability, shell cordovan for long-term investment, or NATO cordura for sports use. The choice depends on the balance between aesthetics and the intended use context of the chronograph.

Locate the spring bars (metal bars that support the strap in the case lugs). Using a spring bar tool, gently press the bar toward the center to free the old strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes and release the bar. Verify that it is firmly positioned before wearing the watch.

Only straps with a 20mm lug width are compatible. On milanostraps.it you will find a selection of artisanal leather in this size, all customizable. Standard 18mm and 22mm sizes do not fit the lug attachment of this model.

A high-quality artisanal leather strap, with vegetable tanning, lasts 3-5 years of regular wear. Durability depends on frequency of wear, ambient humidity, maintenance (drying after perspiration), and leather type. Japanese shell cordovan tends to last longer. Casati Milano guarantees 18 months on custom-made straps.
