Strap for Aquis Date Calibre 400 43.5 Stainless Steel / Green / Rubber

The lug width is precisely 24.00mm, an uncommon and distinctive dimension in the modern diver landscape. It is measured accurately using a digital calliper, positioning it between the two lugs perpendicular to the bezel whilst excluding the protrusion of the lugs themselves. This width references divers from previous decades and represents a mark of refined engineering discipline.

For the Aquis 01 400 7763 4157-07 4 24 74EB, we recommend a vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather in testa di moro tone, which creates elegant contrast with the satin case and grey ceramic bezel. Alternatively, a NATO in khaki or grey offers practical daily wear, whilst a shell cordovan in wine colour emphasises character and individuality. For wet conditions, a black butyl rubber strap with chevron texture ensures grip and marine versatility.

The strap is replaced by extracting the spring bars from the lugs. Use a spring bar tool to gently lift one end of the bar, then extract it from one side. Repeat for the other lug. On the new strap, align the holes and insert the spring bars ensuring they are fully seated. Every Milano Straps strap is prepared for 24mm lugs, guaranteeing perfect compatibility.

Absolutely. The Aquis 01 400 7763 4157-07 4 24 74EB is compatible with any strap featuring 24mm lug width. Milano Straps offers a complete selection of artisanal straps in leather, NATO and rubber, all available for rapid shipment and customisable according to your colour and finish preferences.

A strap in vegetable-tanned leather, such as Tuscan, typically lasts 3-5 years under moderate daily use. Longevity depends on humidity exposure, frequency of use and level of care. Applying a water-repellent treatment every 6-8 months will significantly extend the strap's life. NATO and rubber straps offer superior resistance in humid or intense sporting environments.
