Strap for Roma Small Seconds Automatic Stainless Steel / Silver

The Schwarz Etienne Roma WRO15MA25SS01AA is equipped with 20mm lugs. This measurement represents the space between the case attachments and determines compatibility with any aftermarket strap. Correct measurement is essential to avoid straps that are either too wide or too narrow.

For the Roma, we recommend straps in dark brown or black alligator, which emphasise the austere aesthetic of the brushed stainless steel case. Alternatively, shell cordovan in burgundy or black develops extraordinary patina over time, reflecting the watch's craftsmanship. For versatility, a cotton NATO in charcoal grey or an FKM rubber strap with fine grain texture offer robust comfort whilst maintaining subtle elegance.

The WRO15MA25SS01AA features straight 20mm lugs. To change the strap, use a spring bar tool to engage the small metal pin holding the strap in the case lugs. Gently slide the tool underneath the spring bar, apply steady pressure to lift, and remove the old strap. Insert the new one by aligning the openings correctly and snap the spring bar into position. Avoid forcing to prevent damage to the lug holes.

Yes, the Roma accepts quality aftermarket straps provided they have 20mm lugs. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of leather straps (alligator, shell cordovan, calf), NATO and rubber options, all compatible with this measurement and crafted to sartorial standards, ensuring durability and superior aesthetics.

A quality leather strap on a daily-wear watch like the Roma typically lasts 3–5 years before replacement becomes necessary. Premium materials such as shell cordovan or vegetable-tanned alligator resist longer (5–7 years), developing a fascinating patina. Longevity depends on humidity, sun exposure and proper maintenance practices. Rotating between multiple straps periodically extends the life of each.
