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

The lug width is 20 millimetres. This measurement represents the external distance between the two horizontal pins anchoring the strap to the case. To verify compatibility with aftermarket straps, measure with a digital calliper the distance between the case lugs: it must correspond exactly to 20mm.

For the Divers 65, we recommend vegetable-tanned or alligator leather straps for refined daily wear, NATO canvas straps in robust weave for sporty-tactical style, and structured rubber for serious aquatic activities. Choice depends on primary use: leather ages naturally, developing patina; alligator offers sophistication; NATO provides versatility; rubber ensures absolute practicality.

To replace the strap, use a spring bar removal tool. Insert the tool into the narrow gap between the case lug and the pin, pushing gently towards the dial until the internal spring mechanism compresses. The pin will release, allowing you to remove the old strap end and insert the new one. Repeat for both pins. Work carefully to avoid scratching the steel.

Yes, any strap with 20mm lug width is mechanically compatible. Always verify the technical specification with the seller before purchase. Quality aftermarket straps often offer superior aesthetic variety compared to original options, maintaining full mechanical compatibility with your case lugs.

A quality artisanal leather strap, under moderate use and regular maintenance, lasts between 4 and 7 years. Durability depends on usage intensity, environmental conditions (humidity, sun exposure) and colourant quality. Leather fears saltwater and prolonged moisture; rinse periodically with warm fresh water and dry thoroughly. Stitching wears before the leather itself; expert sartorial repair can significantly extend strap life.
