Strap for Artelier Complication 40.5 Stainless Steel - Yellow Gold / Silver

The lug width is 21.00 mm. This measurement is specific to this model and incompatible with standard 20 mm watch straps. To verify correct measurement, position a calliper on the lug shoulder of the spring bar without applying pressure.

Given the case's understated character, we recommend alligator leather in brown (havana or bordeaux) or vegetable-tanned calf in cognac. A NATO strap in dark blue offers contemporary versatility. FKM rubber is ideal for professional contexts. Avoid bright colours that disturb the case's visual balance.

Remove the spring bar: position the watch with the lug facing upward, insert a spring bar tool into the lateral groove and press gently inward to free the end. Extract the old strap and insert the bar into the new strap, verifying the click lock. Repeat on the opposite lug.

Yes, all straps with 21 mm lug width are compatible. Spring bars are standardised for this width. Always verify the lug width declaration from the retailer before purchase.

A quality alligator or calf strap lasts 5-7 years with daily wear, subject to variables such as humidity, sweat pH and conditioning frequency. Vegetable-tanned leather develops natural patina. We recommend gentle cleaning every 6 months and storage in a dry location. FKM rubber has superior durability of 8-10 years.
