Strap for Orlík 38 Small Seconds Stainless Steel / Black / Rubber

The lug width is 20.00 millimetres. This measurement represents the distance between the two attachment pins that hold the strap to the case. To verify strap compatibility, measure this distance precisely: it must equal exactly 20 mm.

The optimal strap choice depends on intended use. For classical-formal contexts, we recommend alligator with traditional tanning or vegetable-tanned calf leather. For sporting versatility, a heavyweight NATO fabric strap is ideal. Casati Milano crafts custom straps to ensure the lugs fit your 20 mm attachment points perfectly.

To change the strap, extract the pins (small metal cylinders securing the strap to the lugs). Use a spring bar tool to apply lateral pressure to one pin, freeing it from its seat. Slide the old strap out from under the lugs, then repeat the process with the new strap. Never force the pins; you risk permanent damage to the case.

Yes, provided the strap is specifically dimensioned for 20 mm lug width. Compatible straps must have properly sized lugs (the sections that wrap around the case lugs). Always verify specifications with the manufacturer. Casati Milano straps are bespoke-crafted to guarantee perfect constructive fit.

A quality leather strap (alligator with vegetable tanning or calf leather) can last 3–5 years under regular wear, depending on exposure to moisture, perspiration, and mechanical stress. Vegetable-tanned leather develops a natural patina that reveals character over time. A rubber or NATO strap offers comparable durability whilst maintaining stable technical properties without aesthetic alteration.
