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

The lug width is 20mm. This dimension is specific to the Divers 65 and maintains visual balance between the case and strap. Measure between the case lugs with a ruler to confirm compatibility with any aftermarket strap option.

Selection depends on intended use. For daily elegance: vegetable-tanned leather that develops patina naturally. For sports and water: FKM vulcanised rubber or cotton-polyamide NATO. Bordeaux shell cordovan offers compromise between visible ageing and durability. All materials maintain 20mm compatibility with this reference.

Use a spring bar removal tool on the 20mm lugs. Position the flat tip beneath the inner bar, lift gently until spring release, extract the bar. Repeat on the opposite lug. Align the new strap holes, reintroduce the bars until click-closure is felt. Hand force alone suffices; no hammer required.

Yes, any strap measuring 20mm in width is compatible. The reference 01 733 7707 4051 OSC-TYO-Set accepts all our models in this dimension: leather, alligator, calf, NATO, rubber. Verify only that spring bars match standard diameter (1.5mm) and proceed with replacement.

A quality leather strap, vegetable-tanned, lasts 5-7 years of daily wear. Longevity depends on humidity, perspiration, and maintenance: annual application of mink oil or natural wax extends life. Shell cordovan resists 10 years or longer. Vulcanised rubber, if exposed to salt water, requires regular rinsing to preserve elasticity beyond 4-5 years.
