Strap for Artelier Calibre 112 Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width of this model is 23 mm, a specific measurement that ensures harmonic proportions on a 43 mm diameter case. To verify, measure the distance between the metal pins (springbars) that pass through the lugs: it must correspond exactly to 23 mm.

Genuine alligator with vegetable tanning offers natural drape and develops unique patina over time. Alternatively, shell cordovan withstands the case weight without visual fatigue; a dark burgundy calf adds depth without excessive contrast. For contemporary versatility, a sewn NATO or vulcanized FKM rubber represent functional choices.

Remove the pins from the lugs using a dedicated spring bar remover tool. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes to the lugs, then reinsert the pins with uniform pressure until completely secured. Verify solidity before wearing the watch.

Yes. 23 mm straps are available in leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), textile (NATO, canvas) and vulcanized rubber. Milanostraps offers a curated selection of artisanal straps compatible with this specific lug width, with customizable finishes.

A leather strap with vegetable tanning typically lasts 3-5 years with daily wear, developing rich patina that increases aesthetic value. Shell cordovan, being denser, exceeds 7-10 years. Lifespan depends on ambient humidity, frequency of use, and care (periodic cleaning, complete drying).
