Strap for La Chaux-de-Fonds Flying Tourbillon Stainless Steel / Silver

The WCF09TSE16SS04AA features a lug width of 22 millimetres. This is the industry-standard measurement representing the distance between the two lateral lugs where the strap attaches to the case. To verify independently, position a digital calliper perpendicular to the lugs and measure the exact distance.

An alligator strap with vegetable tanning accentuates the brushed stainless steel finish, creating both aesthetic and tactile harmony. Shell cordovan represents a sophisticated alternative for those who appreciate chromatic evolution over time. NATO straps in cotton or nylon offer practical wearability whilst maintaining constructive rigour.

The procedure requires a specialised spring bar tool: position the watch on a stable surface, use the punch to press the pin from the opposite side until fully disengaged. Once the lugs are free, align the new strap holes with the pins and reinsert until the audible click confirms secure seating. We recommend consulting a professional if you lack experience with this operation.

Yes, the 22-millimetre lug width is standardised and compatible with an extensive range of artisanal straps in leather, NATO textile, natural rubber and synthetic materials. Milano Straps curates a selection of 22mm straps ready for dispatch, customisable according to chromatic preference and material specification.

A quality leather strap featuring vegetable tanning or shell cordovan, subject to moderate daily use, maintains structural and aesthetic integrity for 3 to 5 years. Longevity depends on environmental factors (humidity, UV exposure), frequency of wear and preventative maintenance (regular cleaning, occasional conditioning with specialised creams). Rubber or NATO textile straps demonstrate superior durability in high-humidity environments.
