It depends on intended use: alligator with vegetable tanning provides sober elegance; naturally tanned calf develops rich patina; canvas NATO suits the technical DNA; FKM rubber is ideal for water activities. Consider your usage context and case colour (blue, black, grey).

Use a spring bar tool to remove pins or bars. Insert the tool delicately into the case lug holes, push the pin outward until fully extracted. Remove the old strap, align the new one perfectly with the case attachments, reinsert the pin from left to right until locked.

Yes, if made to 26mm lug width specifications. Reliable brands like Milano Straps guarantee precision tolerances. Verify the strap was manufactured for this exact width. Avoid vague '25-26mm' generics, which cause fitting issues.

Quality vegetable-tanned leather resists 3-5 years of regular wear, developing noble patina. Technical elastomer lasts 5-8 years. Longevity depends on humidity, perspiration, sun exposure and maintenance. Keep away from direct heat, periodically condition with specific creams.
