Strap for Chronograph 5172 White Gold / Blue

The lug width is precisely 20 millimetres, measured between the axes of the case attachment pins. This is the standard measurement for the model and is determined by the bridge architecture of the 18-karat white gold case.

For the 5172G-001 we recommend American alligator Porosus with natural grain, vegetable-tanned calf, or Japanese shell cordovan. Silver-grey alligator creates sophisticated monochromy with the slate dial, whilst dark warm brown offers elegant contrast with the 18kt white gold.

Using a spring bar tool, position it underneath the pin laterally, apply gentle pressure to release the internal spring and withdraw the pin. Replace the strap by aligning the holes with the lugs and reinsert the pin until you feel the securing click.

Yes, provided the lug width is precisely 20mm and the strap is constructed from noble materials: alligator, calf, shell cordovan or vegetable-tanned leather. An artisanal strap of quality enhances the proportions of the 41mm case and improves daily wearing experience.

A premium leather strap lasts between 3 and 5 years with regular use, provided you avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and keep it dry after water contact. Vegetable tanning develops patina over time, improving aesthetically; shell cordovan achieves superior durability, lasting 7 to 8 years.
