Strap for Aquis Date Calibre 400 41.5 Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The lug width is 22mm. This measurement represents the linear distance between the two attachment pins on the case and accommodates standard straps of this specific width. It is a contemporary standard for mid-sized sports luxury watches.

Vegetable-tanned Italian leather offers a refined aesthetic and predictable ageing that underscores the Aquis's constructive seriousness. Alternatively, alligator leather creates visual contrast with the ceramic bezel, whilst NATO straps provide versatility and practicality in aquatic environments.

Strap replacement is accomplished by manipulating the lateral attachment pins situated at lug height. Using a spring bar tool, carefully extract the pins from the current strap, then insert them into the lugs of the new strap and secure them firmly to the case. The operation requires less than one minute.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is plug-and-play compatible with this model. This includes straps in vegetable-tanned leather, alligator, shell cordovan, NATO, and rubber. Milano Straps offers artisanal straps specifically engineered for watches of this exact width specification.

An artisanal vegetable-tanned leather strap typically lasts 2–4 years with daily wear, depending on humidity exposure and maintenance discipline. Leather ages and develops natural patina; with occasional cleaning and conditioning, the strap remains functionally sound for extended periods, becoming an increasingly distinctive aesthetic object.
