Strap for Rectangular Date 25 Stainless Steel / Silver - Arabic / Bracelet

The lug width is 18mm. This specific measurement is essential to maintain the aesthetic proportions of the 25mm case. It is an uncommon size in the aftermarket, so we recommend verifying compatibility by measuring the internal distance between the lugs with a millimetre calliper before ordering.

Alligator leather in vegetable tanning or vegetable-tanned calf represent the most refined choices, preserving the minimalist essence of the rectangular geometry. For informal contexts, dark blue or grey NATO canvas maintains the minimalist character. FKM rubber is ideal for humid environments. The choice depends on intended use and the patina you wish to develop over time.

The strap is removed using a spring bar tool to compress the elastic pins at the ends of the lugs. Position the tool at the base of the pin, press inward until the lug is freed, then extract the pin and old strap. Proceed with caution to avoid scratching the stainless steel case. Installation of the new strap follows the reverse procedure.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 18mm. Our artisanal straps are available in this specific size, made with premium materials such as alligator, calf and fabric. Always verify dimensions before purchase, as 18mm is not a universal standard.

Durability depends on use, tanning method and maintenance. An alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap, with regular care (protection from moisture and temperature variations), maintains structural integrity for 5-7 years. The patina develops gradually, improving the aesthetic. Straps in more delicate leather may show visible wear after 3-4 years of daily use.
