Strap for Divers Sixty-Five 40 Social Club Edition / Xi'an

The lug width is 20mm. This measurement corresponds to the distance between the two attachment pins on the case. To verify it, measure horizontally the space between the lugs: it must be exactly 20mm to ensure compatibility and secure fit.

It depends on your usage. For frequent diving: vulcanised butyl rubber, waterproof and washable. For refined durability: vegetable-tanned alligator or calf leather that develop patina. For tactical versatility: nylon NATO strap with steel deployante, changeable in seconds and compatible with any water condition.

The Divers Sixty-Five features fixed lugs. To change the strap, remove the attachment pins (pin bars) using a dedicated tool or small screwdriver, then extract the old strap. Insert the new strap, aligning it with the lugs, and reinsert the pin bars, ensuring they are firmly seated. We recommend this operation in dry conditions to protect the movement.

Yes, provided the width is exactly 20mm. Milano Straps offers hand-crafted 20mm straps tested for compatibility with this line: alligator, natural leather, NATO and rubber, all with standard pin bars. Always verify that the strap is specified for 20mm before purchase.

A leather strap with vegetable tanning, exposed to regular freshwater immersion, maintains structural integrity between 3 and 5 years. Saltwater exposure reduces this interval to 2-3 years if the strap is not systematically rinsed with fresh water after each immersion. Vulcanised rubber has superior longevity (5-10 years) if exposed to moderate UV. We recommend fresh water rinsing after every marine use.
