Strap for Artelier Worldtimer 42.5 Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width is 22mm, measured between the internal attachment points (spring bars). This dimension is specific to this 42.50mm case and ensures correct proportions. Always verify with photographic measurement before ordering an aftermarket strap.

For the Artelier we recommend Italian calf leather with vegetable tanning (black or dark brown), which enhances the dressy nature of the watch. Alligator with natural grain represents the highest sophistication option. A heavy cotton NATO offers versatility, whilst FKM rubber is ideal for light sporting contexts.

Use a spring bar tool to remove the attachment pins (spring bars) from the lugs. Insert the tool into the side groove of the pin, apply downward pressure and carefully remove the old strap. Insert the new spring bars into the lug holes and secure the new strap. The operation takes 2-3 minutes with practice.

A calf leather strap with vegetable tanning lasts 3-5 years of daily wear, depending on humidity exposure and maintenance. Vegetable tanning is more delicate than chrome tanning, but develops a noble patina. Avoid frequent bathing and keep the strap dry to extend its lifespan.
