Strap for Artelier Translucent Skeleton Stainless Steel - Rose Gold

The lug width for this model is 18mm. This specific measurement must be respected when searching for compatible aftermarket straps. Measure the lug width from the inside of the metal lugs to verify accuracy.

For the stainless steel and rose gold bicolour case, we recommend a vegetable-tanned calf leather strap or quality alligator leather. Both enhance the material contrast without competing visually. A grey-blue NATO represents the versatile alternative for those alternating formal and casual contexts.

Use a spring bar tool to extract the metal bars from the lateral holes in the case. Rest the watch on a soft surface to avoid scratching the rose gold. Insert the new strap by aligning the bars in the opposite holes, ensuring the spring bars remain parallel during attachment.

All straps with a certified 18mm lug width are compatible, regardless of material (leather, NATO, rubber, textile). We recommend artisanal-quality straps to preserve the bicolour case's aesthetic identity and ensure mechanical stability.

A quality leather strap, subjected to moderate use and regularly maintained, lasts an average of 3-5 years. Patina development is natural and desirable. Prolonged exposure to humidity and sweat accelerates wear; vegetable tanning demonstrates greater longevity than chrome tanning in these conditions.
