Strap for Big Crown Complication Stainless Steel - Rose Gold / Silver

The lug width is 20mm. This measurement represents the internal distance between the two lugs of the case where the strap is attached. For the Big Crown, it is essential to respect this dimension precisely to ensure accurate insertion without friction on the case shoulders.

There is no single universal choice. A first-grade alligator in brown tones emphasises the pilot authority; vegetable-tanned calf develops natural patina over time; a NATO in cotton preserves technical vocation. The choice depends on use: formal, casual or sport.

The Big Crown uses a spring bar inserted perpendicularly into the lugs. Equip yourself with a dedicated tool (spring bar tool), position it under the bar, apply pressure to compress it and slide it laterally. Manoeuvre carefully to avoid scratching the lugs. Reverse the operation to insert the new strap.

Yes. Any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible. Milano Straps offers a selection of artisanal leather, NATO fabrics and FKM rubber in the correct size, custom-made or ready-to-use, with stainless steel deployante option for added convenience.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 3-5 years under moderate daily use. Longevity depends on ambient humidity, frequency of use, periodic maintenance and water protection. Vegetable-tanned leather develops patina but maintains structural integrity longer; avoiding prolonged immersion significantly extends the strap's lifespan.
