Strap for Rectangular Complication Stainless Steel / Silver - Arabic

The lug width is 23mm. This dimension is not an industrial standard but a specific construction specification of the Rectangular model. Verify the measurement precisely using a metal calliper on the lug seats, with the watch completely removed from any strap.

Genuine alligator represents the most sophisticated choice, particularly in cognac or smoke grey tones, as its natural texture and organic patina do not contrast with the geometric Art Deco rigour of the case. The versatile alternative is vegetable-tanned calf leather, which develops patina over months. NATO and FKM rubber remain intelligent choices for dynamic environments.

Remove the watch from any holder or wrist. Use a spring bar removal tool to extract the small elastic pins that secure the strap to the case lugs. Once removed, thread the new 23mm strap through the same pins and reinsert them with controlled pressure until they click into place. Verify stability by pulling gently.

Only straps whose attachment width is 23mm. Never attempt to adapt 20 or 24mm straps as this will damage the lug seats. Milano Straps offers a complete collection of handcrafted leather, NATO and rubber straps measured for this specific lug width, with customisable options and finishes.

A high-quality leather strap with vegetable tanning maintains structural integrity for 5-7 years of daily wear, developing visible patina after 1-2 years. Longevity depends on climate (humidity accelerates ageing), frequency of use and maintenance. Avoid prolonged water contact and condition the strap every 6-12 months with appropriate leather care products to extend its lifespan.
