Strap for Pure Pro Bronze

The lug width of the Pinion Pure PU23 is 22 millimetres. This dimension represents the distance between the inner edges of the lugs positioned at the vertical extremities of the case. Any aftermarket strap must respect this width precisely to ensure proper fit and aesthetic alignment without excessive material tension.

For the Pinion Pure PU23, the ideal strap is vegetable-tanned leather in cognac or Havana brown tones. This pairing creates aesthetic synergy as aged leather mirrors the biological patination process of the bronze case. Vegetable-tanned leather also reflects the artisanal philosophy guiding the PU23's design, without resorting to synthetic components. Woven NATO straps offer a valid alternative for everyday-sport contexts.

The PU23 strap change is performed by removing the spring bars—the horizontal metal pins passing through the lugs. Using a dedicated spring bar tool, apply gentle pressure to one end of the bar until one side retracts from its seat, then extract the bar completely. Align the new strap between the lugs and reinsert the bar in the same position, ensuring both ends engage correctly with their respective seats.

Yes. The milanostraps.it platform offers a curated selection of 22-millimetre straps specifically verified for compatibility with the PU23. These include Italian vegetable-tanned leather, woven NATO straps, and resistant rubber options. All straps are pre-dimensioned to guarantee precise fit without additional adjustments, and are shipped within 2-3 working days.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, worn with moderate regularity (4-5 days weekly), maintains structural integrity and comfort between 3 and 5 years. Longevity depends on factors such as wearing frequency, moisture exposure, perspiration, and preventive maintenance. With proper care—occasional cleaning with soft cloths, protection from prolonged water exposure, and annual oiling—functional life can extend to 7 years. The patina that leather develops is not deterioration but a sought-after aesthetic quality within the Pinion Pure context.
