Strap for Divers GMT Date Stainless Steel / Black / Rubber

The lug width (ansa measurement) of this model is precisely 24mm. This measurement should be verified with a digital calliper positioned between the spring bar attachments on the case, measuring from outer edge to outer edge. Accurate measurement is essential to ensure secure installation and proper strap alignment.

For the robust 44mm case, we recommend vegetable-tanned leather straps (tobacco or honey) for formal elegance, or robust NATO fabric for chromatic versatility and ease of change. If you engage in regular diving, a natural rubber strap offers maximum moisture resistance and superior grip. Vegetable-tanned alligator represents the ideal compromise between material nobility and technical functionality.

Use a spring bar tool to remove the elastic pins securing the strap to the case lugs. Insert the flat tip of the tool into the slot beneath the spring bar, gently push downward until the pin retracts, then remove the strap. Reverse the procedure to install the new strap, ensuring both pins are fully seated and the strap is symmetrically positioned relative to the case.

Yes, any strap with a 24mm lug width is compatible with the Divers 01 668 7639 8454-07 4 24 34EB. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of aftermarket straps in various materials (leather, alligator, NATO, rubber) precisely dimensioned for this lug width, guaranteeing complete compatibility and artisanal construction quality.

A leather strap with vegetable tanning typically lasts 3–5 years with regular wear, longer if worn occasionally. Exposure to water accelerates material ageing; we recommend air-drying the strap after immersion and applying periodic maintenance with specific balms. In highly humid environments, a natural rubber or fabric strap represents a more durable choice.
