Strap for Artelier Skeleton 31 Diamonds Stainless Steel / Bracelet

The lug width is 14mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two lugs (attachment points) of the case where the strap is inserted. Any compatible strap must respect this tolerance to ensure a stable and secure fit.

It depends on intended use and aesthetic context. An alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather amplifies the refined character of the case; a cotton NATO in grey-blue introduces controlled informality; rubber remains the functional choice for those in humid environments or who practise water sports. The compact 31mm scale allows experimentation with different textures without risk of disharmony.

Use a spring bar tool (specific implement with flat or bifurcated tip). Position the tip into the groove of the pin holding the old strap, apply gentle pressure to free one end, extract the pin, install the new strap ensuring the pin is fully seated on both sides. The operation requires patience and proper tools to avoid scratching.

Yes. Milano Straps offers artisanal straps in alligator leather, calf, NATO, and technical rubber, all compatible with 14mm lugs. Each strap is handcrafted and customisable in colour, texture and finish. Construction quality guarantees longevity and aesthetic evolution over time—characteristics absent in mass-produced straps.

A high-quality leather strap (alligatore or vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use, with extended durability if cared for. Wear concentrates on three zones: lugs (continuous friction), closure/buckle (mechanical stress), visible surface (sun exposure). The leather's natural patina evolves during this period, creating a visible history of the object.
