Strap for Atiplano Mythical Journey Samarkand Scrimshaw

The lug width of the G0A40611 is 18mm. This dimension is specific to the Altiplano design and requires proportional, lightweight straps to maintain the visual balance of the ultra-thin case.

For the Altiplano G0A40611, we recommend alligator in cognac or antique brown, calf leather with vegetable tanning, or natural rubber. The choice depends on usage: leather for formal occasions, rubber for sporty contexts. Avoid thick straps that would compromise the minimalist proportions.

Insert a spring bar tool under the lug retaining spring from the opposite side. Press gently to compress the spring and extract the lug from the case. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap by reversing this procedure.

Yes, aftermarket straps with an 18mm lug width are fully compatible. Always verify the technical specifications before purchase. Milano Straps offers a complete collection of 18mm straps that are customisable and ready to ship.

Durability depends on frequency of use, tanning method, and climate. A calf leather with vegetable tanning lasts 3-5 years with daily wear. Alligator tends to last longer. Natural rubber lasts 4-6 years. A quality handcrafted strap ages nobly, developing characteristic patina.
