Strap for Rectangular Diamonds 24 Stainless Steel / MOP / Bracelet

The lug width of this model is precisely 16mm. This specification is critical when selecting a compatible aftermarket strap. To verify, insert a ruler between the lugs on either side of the case and read the exact distance. 16mm lug widths require specific straps; 18mm or 20mm lugs will not fit this case.

For this stainless steel rectangular watch, we recommend dark shell cordovan (burgundy, oxblood) for sartorial elegance, vegetable-tanned calf leather in warm tones (natural, cognac) for developing organic patina over time, or tightly woven NATO fabric for daily versatility. Structured rubber remains ideal for practicality without aesthetic compromise. Your choice depends on intended use (formal, everyday) and personal aesthetic preference.

The strap is removed by extracting it from the lugs using a spring bar tool. Position the tool beneath the spring bar, apply gentle pressure, and slide the old strap away. Insert the new strap, align it with the lugs, and allow the spring bar to snap into position. This operation takes seconds and requires no specialist knowledge. If uncertain, consult a trusted watchmaker.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 16mm. Custom-made artisanal straps guarantee total compatibility and allow personalised selection of material, colour, and finish. Milanostraps offers a curated selection of 16mm straps in leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), NATO fabric, and rubber—all compatible with this model.

A vegetable-tanned calf strap typically lasts 3–5 years with moderate daily wear. Longevity depends on usage frequency, moisture exposure, and material care. Shell cordovan and alligatore offer greater durability (5–8 years). Rubber has a longer lifecycle (7–10 years). Regular maintenance—cleaning, drying, occasional conditioning—extends lifespan considerably. Deteriorated straps are always quickly replaceable.
