Strap for Artelier Calibre 113 Stainless Steel / Grey

The lug width is 23 millimetres. This measurement is confirmed by placing a digital calliper perpendicular to the wrist, from the inner edge of one spring bar housing to the other. The 23mm is the construction standard for this Artelier model and ensures optimal proportions between the 43mm case and the strap.

The Artelier responds magnificently to natural alligator straps with vegetable tanning, which develop patina over time and dialogue with the polished case finish. Smooth calf leather is the versatile and durable alternative. For intensive daily wear, a cotton NATO or FKM rubber fascet maintains proportion without sacrificing practicality.

The operation requires a spring bar tool or professional intervention. Gently press on the internal spring of the lug to free the spring bar, then extract the strap. Insert the new strap by positioning the spring bar in the appropriate holes: the lug must seat completely. If you lack experience, entrust the task to a professional strap-changing service.

All straps with a 23mm lug width are compatible. Milano Straps offers dedicated artisanal solutions: alligator, calf, shell cordovan, vegetable leather, NATO and rubber. Always verify that the spring bar is dimensioned for 23mm: some universal straps may not adhere perfectly to the case.

A high-quality leather strap with vegetable tanning lasts 3-5 years with moderate daily wear. Longevity depends on environmental humidity, frequency of wear and care. Apply protective treatment every 6-8 months to maintain elasticity and colour. Rubber or NATO straps offer superior durability (5-8 years), but leather represents the ideal aesthetic pairing for this watch.
