Strap for Divers Sixty-Five 40 Social Club Edition / Atlanta

The lug width of this model is 20 millimetres. This historical measurement derives from the original design of 1960s diving instruments and allows the use of purpose-made straps tested to ensure perfect mechanical compatibility with the case lugs.

Selection depends on primary usage. For aesthetic versatility, alligator with vegetable tanning in dark brown tones. For diving environment, FKM rubber that resists moisture and maintains elasticity at low temperatures. For tactical daily wear, ballistic nylon NATO. All 20mm models are compatible.

The strap connects to the lugs via spring bars that run horizontally. Use a spring bar removal tool to gently lift the metallic lug pins, sliding the old strap laterally. Position the new strap by aligning the keepers with the lugs and release the pin with uniform pressure until it clicks into place.

Yes, all straps with 20 millimetre lug width are compatible. On milanostraps.it you will find a curated selection of artisanal leather, NATO and rubber straps, specifically tested for the Divers 65 and delivered ready to wear with pre-adjusted keepers.

An alligator or veal strap with vegetable tanning typically lasts 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Durability depends on UV exposure, humidity and maintenance. Applying natural conditioner every 6 months extends material life. FKM rubber straps have superior longevity (7-10 years) due to lower sensitivity to weather conditions.
