Strap for Big Crown Original Pointer Date 40 Bronze / Green / Bracelet

The lug width is 20mm. This size is specifically proportioned for the 40mm case diameter, maintaining visual balance between the oversized crown and the dial. To measure correctly, position a calliper between the two terminals where the strap attaches to the case lugs—this ensures accurate fitment for aftermarket straps.

We recommend shell cordovan in deep burgundy (sophisticated patina dialogue), vegetable-tanned calf in grey taupe (breathable authenticity), or cotton NATO in navy blue (aviator heritage). Shell cordovan deepens with the bronze ageing, vegetable-tanned leather develops naturally, and NATO enables rapid changes. For water exposure or summer wear, a technical rubber strap offers durability and practicalit.

Remove the strap by using a spring bar tool to compress the metal axis that connects the strap to the case lugs. Once the axis retracts, it will spring free. Insert your new 20mm strap by aligning the holes with the lugs and pressing the spring bar back into place on both sides. Ensure both bars are firmly seated to prevent the strap from detaching during wear.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is fully compatible. Compatibility depends solely on lug width measurement, not on watch brand. The milanostraps.it artisanal collection in 20mm fits perfectly, offering premium leather, bespoke finishing, and the freedom to customise the watch's aesthetic without compromising construction quality.

Lifespan varies by tannage and usage patterns. Shell cordovan lasts 5-7 years with daily wear and regular conditioning (every six months). Vegetable-tanned calf typically spans 3-5 years. Critical factors include humidity exposure (bronze attracts moisture), frequency of wear, and wrist weight. Rotating multiple straps extends the overall longevity of each.
