Frequently asked questions

What lug width does the Omega X-33 / Z-33 318.90.45.79.01.003 have?

The Omega X-33 / Z-33 318.90.45.79.01.003 has a lug width of 20 mm. This means that any compatible strap must be designed exactly for this width. Always verify by measuring directly between the two lugs of the case before ordering an aftermarket strap.

What is the best strap for the Omega X-33 / Z-33?

The best strap depends on usage: for daily elegance, cognac brown alligator or vegetable-tanned calf amplify sophistication; for technical-military character, a grey or black NATO strap echoes aerospace origins; for maximum functionality and durability, vulcanized rubber is unbeatable.

How do you change the strap on an Omega X-33 / Z-33?

The strap is changed using a spring bar removal tool or a very thin screwdriver. Position the tool in the grooves on the sides of the spring, apply gentle pressure to make it click, and the strap will detach. Reverse the procedure to install the new strap. If you are not experienced, entrust the task to a professional watchmaker.

Yes. MilanoStraps offers a complete collection of 20 mm straps for this model, crafted in leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) and technical materials. All are available with customizable length, initials, and stitching choice.

How long does a leather strap last on this model?
