Strap for Big Crown Pointer Date 40 Stainless Steel / Black / Strap

The lug width is 20mm. This measurement represents the horizontal distance between the two lateral metal attachment points on the case. All compatible straps must have an external width of exactly 20 millimetres to fit correctly without lateral play.

The choice depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For historical authenticity, we recommend vegetable-tanned alligator or calf leather with natural patina. For tactical versatility, a cotton-nylon or Cordura NATO. For scientific practicality, FKM rubber. A shell cordovan deployante on a NATO base reconciles elegance with functionality.

Use a spring bar removal tool (small bifurcated screwdriver). Insert the tip beneath the small horizontal metal pin that holds the strap, gently push inward toward the case to release one end, and extract the strap. Repeat on the opposite side. To install, align the new strap, insert the spring bar through the lateral holes, and press until you hear a click.

Any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible. The milanostraps.it collection offers straps in alligator, calf, nylon, Cordura, and rubber, all engineered for this specific width. Always verify lug width before purchase to avoid incompatibility.

A noble leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) lasts approximately 3–5 years in daily use, provided regular maintenance: drying after moisture exposure, cleaning with a soft cloth, periodic application of protective balm. Vegetable tanning develops natural patina over time, increasing aesthetic character. Water absorption accelerates wear; avoid prolonged immersion.
