Strap for ProDiver Date Titanium / Black / Bracelet

The lug width is 26 millimetres, an international standard for large-diameter dive watches. This dimension accommodates specialised underwater-resistant straps and facilitates rapid changeover during diving operations.

Selection depends on application. For technical diving, a NATO in cordura or marine nylon offers functional redundancy and salt resistance. For formal elegance, vegetable-tanned alligator combines aesthetics with durability. For hyperbaric environments, fluoroelastomer (FKM) rubber ensures superior chemical and thermal inertness.

Use a spring bar removal tool to gently compress the internal elastic pins. Position the watch on a soft surface to avoid scratching the titanium case. Insert the new strap into both attachment lugs, ensuring the pins click securely on both sides.

Yes, any bespoke strap manufactured with a 26mm lug width is compatible. Milano Straps offers a specialised collection for this size, with materials including alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan, and technical solutions such as NATO and rubber.

Vegetable-tanned alligator, with proper maintenance (natural air-drying post-immersion, periodic treatment with vegetable balm), maintains functionality and aesthetics for 3 to 5 years in intensive use. Frequent salt exposure accelerates leather ageing, though this develops an appreciated patina among collectors.
