Strap for Divers Sixty-Five 40 Stainless Steel / Grey / Bracelet

The lug width is 20mm. This measurement is taken from the internal distance between the spring bars that attach the strap to the case. It is essential to verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure proper fit and prevent excessive twisting.

This depends on intended use. For formal elegance, we recommend vegetable-tanned leather or alligator in honey-brown or black tones. For sporting and daily wear, resilient nylon NATO straps or vulcanised rubber straps maintain technical coherence. All must respect the 20mm lug width specification.

Position the watch on a soft surface with the case facing downward. Locate the side spring bars securing the strap. Using a spring bar tool, gently press the bar from one side to extract it, then slide off the old strap. Insert the new strap, aligning it with the lugs, and reinsert the spring bars until they click into place. Verify that the strap is firmly secured.

Yes, numerous options exist. Any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible. Milanostraps offers a dedicated collection of artisanal leather, NATO straps, and rubber straps in various colours and finishes. Online personalisation is available based on aesthetic preference and usage context.

Durability depends on the tanning method and usage patterns. A quality vegetable-tanned leather, subject to regular maintenance (periodic cleaning, drying after moisture exposure, annual conditioning), can remain intact for 3–5 years with daily wear. Vegetable tanning develops a desirable patina over time, enhancing visual appeal.
