Strap for Artelier Worldtimer 42.5 Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width is 22 mm, a classic measurement that allows you to choose from a vast range of artisanal straps. This dimension perfectly respects the proportions of the 42.5 mm case, ensuring aesthetic balance and ease of strap changes.

To enhance the dress-casual character of the Artelier, we recommend straps in vegetable-tanned leather (calf or alligator) from Italian or European sources. The natural patina it develops over time accentuates the sobriety of the stainless steel case. For a more versatile approach, a NATO strap in cotton-nylon offers practicality whilst maintaining sartorial dignity.

The change occurs through the spring bars (the two lateral metal pins at the lug): using a dedicated tool or a toothpick, slide the pin out from one side, remove the used strap and insert the new one, securing the pin again. The operation takes two minutes and requires no technical expertise.

Absolutely yes. Any 22 mm wide strap is physically compatible with your model. However, we recommend preferring straps crafted from noble materials (vegetable-tanned leather, alligator, natural textiles) to avoid compromising the inherent elegance of the watch.

Durability depends on frequency of use and tanning quality. A strap in vegetable-tanned calf leather, with ordinary maintenance (drying in case of humidity, avoiding prolonged contact with acidic sweat), maintains structural integrity for 3-5 years. The patina it develops makes it even more fascinating over time.
