Strap for Artelier Translucent Skeleton Stainless Steel - Rose Gold / Bracelet

The lug width of this Artelier model is precisely 18mm. This measurement is standard for the 40.5mm case and is the critical parameter for selecting compatible straps. Always verify lug width before purchase to avoid poor fitment or gaps.

To highlight the steel and rose gold bicolour, we recommend a full-grain leather strap in vegetable-tanned Cognac or Havana, creating chromatic harmony with the case metals. Alternatively, consider alligator in dark brown or a NATO in grey pearl canvas for daily versatility. Structured rubber works well for humid environments or more casual contexts.

The strap is changed by extracting the lug pins (spring bars). Use a spring bar tool to gently lift the pin from the case side, remove the old strap, align the new strap lugs with the holes, and reinsert the pin until it clicks. The operation is reversible with no case damage.

Yes. Milano Straps offers a comprehensive selection of 18mm straps in leather, NATO, and rubber, all tested for mechanical and aesthetic compatibility with watches in this category. Each strap comes with standard pins and is ready to wear; online customisation allows you to select colour, material, and finishes.

A full-grain leather strap with vegetable tanning, worn daily, has an average lifespan of 3–5 years. Longevity depends on climate (humidity accelerates ageing), cleaning frequency, and sun exposure. A well-maintained strap develops a natural patina that increases its aesthetic value over time.
