Strap for Big Crown Small Second Pointer Day Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width is exactly 22mm. This is the internal distance between the two case lugs where the strap attaches. Always verify this measurement before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect compatibility.

The choice depends on your intended use. For elegance: vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather (Testa di Moro or cognac). For versatility: calf or shell cordovan. For practicality: technical NATO or vulcanised rubber. For metal: satin-brushed steel deployante.

Use a spring bar removal tool to gently compress the internal spring of the lug, releasing the old strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the lugs to the case holes, then slowly release the spring bar. Never force: the movement should be fluid to avoid damaging the case.

Yes, provided the 22mm lug width is respected. A quality artisanal strap made with vegetable tanning or technical rubber ensures mechanical compatibility and durability equivalent to the original. Milano Straps specialises in custom straps designed for this category of watches.

A quality strap with vegetable tanning lasts typically 3-5 years with daily use, developing a pleasant patina over time. Longevity depends on water exposure, sunlight, and perspiration levels. Vulcanised rubber or technical NATO lasts 5-7 years virtually unchanged.
