Strap for Submariner No-Date / Stainless Steel / Black / Cerachrom

The Rolex Submariner 114060-0002 features a 20-millimetre lug width. This measurement, calculated between the inner edges of the spring bars, is the standard specification for all aftermarket straps compatible with this model. To verify it precisely, measure the perpendicular distance between the holes where the spring bar pins pass through using a digital calliper.

For the Submariner No Date, we recommend dark brown alligator with vegetable tanning, which creates striking chromatic contrast with the 904L stainless steel casing whilst maintaining sporting aesthetics. Alternatively, shell cordovan develops rich patina within 6 months and suits those seeking evident character. For versatility, vegetable-tanned calf leather ensures seamless transitions between formal and casual contexts.

Remove the watch from your wrist and position it case-up on a soft surface. Use a spring bar tool to gently lift one of the two spring bar pins, sliding them laterally until fully extracted. Release the old strap and insert the pins into the new strap, ensuring the pin terminals are perfectly seated in the case lugs.

Yes, any strap measuring 20 millimetres is compatible with the 114060-0002 lug width. We recommend verifying that the strap features leather thicknesses between 3.5 and 4.5 millimetres to ensure stable attachment to the spring bars. Vegetable-tanned leather, alligator, shell cordovan and FKM rubber straps are all compatible.

A vegetable-tanned leather strap on a Rolex Submariner 114060-0002 typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear. Shell cordovan and alligator offer extended durability (5–8 years) due to superior fibre structural resistance. Natural leather ageing is aesthetic and does not compromise functionality; deterioration manifests as micro-fissuring at strap corners.
