Strap for Aquis Titan Small Second - Date Titanium / Black / Rubber

The lug width is 24mm. This dimension is specific to this model and conforms to ISO 1346-1 standard for aftermarket strap attachment. Measurement should be taken from the inner side of the lug, where the strap embraces the case, not from the external width.

Selection depends on intended use: for understated elegance, alligator with tight grain or calf leather with vegetable tanning is recommended; for aquatic functionality, vulcanised rubber or robust canvas NATO. Titanium case pairs well with natural leathers that develop patina, creating mature visual contrast.

Strap change is performed via spring bars integrated into the 24mm lugs. Use a spring bar tool to compress the spring, extract the old strap end, insert the new one, and verify secure fastening. Avoid improvised tools to prevent lug damage.

Yes, any strap with 24mm lug width is compatible, provided it meets ISO 1346-1 standard. Our artisan straps on milanostraps.it are tested for this geometry; always verify that slots are proportioned to case width (46mm).

Longevity varies with frequency of use, water exposure, and material. Vegetable-tanned calf, under moderate daily use, remains functional for 3-5 years. Constant salt-water exposure reduces durability to 18-24 months. Rubber or NATO offer superior longevity in recurring aquatic environments.
