Strap for M2/02

The lug width of the SevenFriday M2/02 is 28mm. This is a non-standard measurement, incompatible with universal 20mm or 26mm straps. It is essential to verify compatibility before purchasing aftermarket straps.

The best strap depends on personal use and style. Alligator leather with fine grain adds elegance whilst maintaining material severity. Calf leather with vegetable tanning offers natural patina development over time. A cotton-nylon NATO ensures daily versatility and robustness. Technical FKM rubber preserves contemporary aesthetics for active contexts.

The M2/02 uses standard spring bars. Obtain a spring bar removal tool. Insert the blade into the lateral slot of the lug to compress the pin, then extract the old strap. Insert the new strap, aligning it with the attachments, press gently until the securing click. Verify that the pin is fully locked before wearing the watch.

Yes, provided it is certified for 28mm lug width. We recommend specialised suppliers that guarantee precise tolerances on this non-standard measurement. Quality aftermarket straps often offer greater customisation than original straps, both in material and finish.

Durability depends on the type of tanning and usage. Alligator or calf leather with vegetable tanning lasts 4–7 years with moderate daily use. Cleaning frequency, humidity exposure and perspiration determine ageing. Regular maintenance (neutral detergents, air drying) significantly extends strap lifespan.
