Strap for Rectangular Date 24.5 Stainless Steel / Silver - Roman

The lug width is 17 mm. This measurement is critical for selecting a compatible strap: straps of 16 mm or 18 mm width will not provide a secure fit on the lugs. To verify the measurement, use a digital calliper positioned between the two lugs at the point of maximum opening.

There is no universal choice. Genuine alligator offers formal elegance and regular grain texture; vegetable-tanned calf leather develops a natural patina over time; NATO fabric maintains visual clarity and versatility of pairing; vulcanised rubber ensures robustness in humid environments. The choice depends on intended use and dial colour.

Use a spring bar tool to remove the spring bar pins from the lugs. Position the tool near the end of the pin and apply gentle downward pressure until the spring releases. The old strap will then detach. For installation, insert the new strap into the lugs and push the spring bar pins until fully locked.

A quality leather strap, subject to moderate daily use, maintains structural integrity for 3–5 years. Vegetable tanning evolves with a natural patina that increases aesthetic character. Vulcanised rubber guarantees greater longevity, up to 7–10 years, with minimal maintenance.
