Strap for Big Crown ProPilot GMT Rega Fleet AgustaWestland Da Vinci - HB-ZRP

The lug width is 20 mm, measured as the internal distance between the two lateral attachment rings of the case. This dimension is constant across the ProPilot model line and requires exclusively compatible straps with corresponding width. To verify accurate measurement, use a digital calliper positioned between the lugs: the distance must read precisely 20 mm.

Selection depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For sartorial elegance: vegetable-tanned leather (honey, cognac, burgundy tones). For practical versatility: polyamide NATO textile strap. For sporting and humid environments: waterproof rubber with deployante buckle. Alligator leather represents the perceptual upgrade, with natural texture that dialogues perfectly with the satin-finished stainless steel case.

The strap is replaced by removing the two spring bars that connect the rings to the case lugs. Use a dedicated spring bar tool, gently pushing towards the case centre to release the bars from their seats. Subsequently, align the new strap with the lugs and reinsert the spring bars. This operation requires approximately 2 minutes. If you prefer to avoid risk, entrust the operation to Atelier Casati Milano.

Any strap with a 20 mm lug width is compatible with the ProPilot. milanostraps.it offers a curated selection of artisanal straps in leather, NATO, and rubber, all available in the 20 mm size and customisable according to your chromatic and constructive preferences. All proposed straps have been tested to guarantee compatibility and construction quality.

A quality leather strap (vegetable-tanned or shell cordovan) has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with moderate daily wear. Longevity depends on exposure to humidity, perspiration, UV rays, and frequency of use. A strap dedicated to aviation, worn discontinuously, can last 7-10 years. The natural patina of leather improves over time, conferring character to the strap. Regular cleaning and annual conditioning significantly extend useful life.
