Strap for Roma Synergy by Kari Voutilainen Stainless Steel / Royal Blue

The lug width is 20mm. This dimension is standard for this model and allows for compatibility with leather straps, NATO fabric, rubber, and other materials available in this size. Always verify the inner lug pin to ensure complete compatibility.

For this timepiece, we recommend vegetable-tanned alligator in black or brown for formal occasions, box calf for versatile daily wear, or structured rubber for sports and humid conditions. The choice depends on your primary use case and seasonal requirements. All 20mm straps are compatible.

Use a gentle spring bar tool to avoid scratching the case. Position the watch on a stable, well-lit surface. Apply light downward pressure on the spring bar, then remove the old strap. Align the new strap's holes and reposition the bar. We recommend having this operation performed by a qualified watchmaker.

Yes, the Roma model is fully compatible with aftermarket 20mm straps. However, verify the strap's construction thickness: to preserve the elegant proportions of the case, choose straps with thickness between 3.5mm and 4.5mm. Avoid overly rigid or over-padded straps that would alter the original aesthetic.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator, calf, vegetable-tanned shell cordovan) typically lasts 2-4 years with daily wear, extendable to 5-6 years with proper care: avoid prolonged water exposure, remove the watch during showers and humid activities, and occasionally apply protective balm. The natural patina that develops over time is desirable and testifies to authentic use.
