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

The lug width is 22mm. This dimension represents the distance between the two spring bar pins that connect the strap to the case. It is a critical specification for aftermarket strap compatibility: even minor variations (0.5mm) will cause play or insertion difficulty. Always verify that any replacement strap is explicitly marked as 22mm compatible.

For a 46mm Aquis in titanium and ceramic, we recommend a quality alligator strap in satin black or vegetable-tanned leather in dark brown. These materials preserve the understated tonality of the titanium and age beautifully. Alternatively, a cotton NATO in black or an anthracite rubber strap offer versatility whilst maintaining the tool-watch identity.

The strap is secured via two spring bar pins that pass through the lug width and lock into the case lugs. Using a dedicated spring bar tool or fine-pointed implement, apply gentle inward pressure to one pin to release it from its slot. Repeat on the opposite side. Align the new strap with the case lugs and press until you hear the locking click.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible. Milano Straps offers a dedicated collection of 22mm straps in leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), NATO and rubber. We recommend verifying that the strap features robust terminal bars to support the weight of titanium (approximately 180g for this model).

A quality leather strap, rotated regularly (not worn daily for months on end), maintains structural integrity for 4–6 years. Alligator leather typically outlasts common calf due to lower porosity. Vegetable-tanned calf ages elegantly but requires periodic maintenance (treatment with natural balms). Rubber resists degradation for 7–10 years before stiffening, whilst textile NATO can last indefinitely if washed regularly.
