Strap for Artelier Pointer Day Date 40 Stainless Steel / Grey / Bracelet

The lug width of this model is 21mm. This dimension refers to the space between the two lugs where the strap is fitted. Measuring this dimension accurately before purchasing an aftermarket strap is essential to ensure perfect compatibility and prevent the strap from being too tight or too loose on the case.

To enhance the minimalist lines and constructive character of the Artelier, we recommend alligator leather with vegetable tanning, natural grain texture, and warm colours (cognac brown, aged natural leather). Tuscan calf offers a more understated alternative, whilst NATO straps maintain daily practicality. The choice depends on your intended use: formal, classic, or casual.

Using a spring bar tool, position the flat end into the notch of the spring. Press inward to retract the elastic spring and, whilst maintaining pressure, slide the lug end out of the hole. Repeat on the other side. Align the new strap and reinsert the spring bars, ensuring both ends are firmly seated.

Yes, provided the lug width is 21mm. Bespoke artisan straps tailored for this dimension will fit perfectly, replacing the original strap. Verify that the strap is fitted with spring bars of the correct width and length for this 40mm model.

A quality leather strap, crafted from alligator or calf with vegetable tanning, typically lasts 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Longevity increases if the strap is rotated with others, kept dry, and protected from prolonged moisture exposure. The patina that develops is part of the material's beauty. Replacement is straightforward and allows you to completely refresh the watch's appearance.
