Strap for Artelier Complication 35 Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width of this model is 18mm, corresponding to the distance between the two pins that attach the strap to the case. This measurement is consistent with the proportions of the 35mm case and ensures visual harmony. Always verify with a calliper before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

An alligator strap in vegetable tanning with dark brown patina or vegetable-tanned calf leather are the most elegant choices to enhance the dress watch nature of the model. For daily use, a dark blue NATO or technical FKM rubber provide durability without aesthetic compromise.

The strap is replaced by first removing the deployante from the original clasp. Subsequently, using a spring bar tool, extract the pins from the lugs: apply slight internal pressure whilst sliding the pin out from the spring. Insert the new strap by executing the reverse operation.

Yes, any strap with an 18mm lug width is compatible. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of straps tested for this model in various materials and colours. Always verify thickness tolerances at the lug attachment to avoid excessive stress on the case.

A quality leather strap, vegetable-tanned, typically lasts 3-5 years of daily use, varying according to frequency of wear, climate and maintenance care. The natural patina that develops is a sign of gentle ageing. Avoid prolonged moisture and clean with a soft dry cloth.
