Strap for Artelier Calibre 111 Bronze 100 Jahre Spinnler + Schweizer

The lug width of this model is 23mm. This measurement represents the space between the two spring bars that connect the strap to the case. To verify it, use a digital calliper positioned perpendicular to the lugs and measure with precision: a 23mm lug width ensures perfect fit without lateral play.

Alligator leather in cognac or tobacco tones represents the most coherent choice, creating chromatic continuity with the Bronze Gold details on the case. Sober alternative: vegetable-tanned calf leather in ebony. For versatility: linen or cotton NATO strap. For high-humidity contexts: fine-grained rubber. The choice depends on use context and personal aesthetic preference.

Remove the supplied strap by sliding the spring bars from the lugs. Use a spring bar tool (small dedicated implement) to facilitate the operation: insert the tip into the slot beside the spring bar and lift gently. Once the spring bars are removed, insert them into the new strap and reposition them into the case lugs, ensuring they are perfectly seated. If you prefer, Casati Milano offers changing service by appointment.

Yes, provided the strap is specifically constructed for 23mm lugs. Milano Straps straps are crafted in Italian craftsmanship and compatible with all technical specifications of your Artelier. Always verify the declared lug width from the manufacturer: 23mm is not a standard measurement, so compatibility must be certified.

Durability depends on material and use context. Alligator leather in vegetable tanning maintains structure and appearance for 5-8 years of regular use, developing desirable patina. Calf leather is more delicate (3-5 years) but offers superior comfort. Fine-quality rubber lasts 3-4 years. The natural wear of leather is characteristic: patina and micro-creases do not indicate defect, but rather conscious ageing of the material.
