Strap for Serpent Calendar

The lug width of the J-Class PIC.10001-03 is 22 millimetres. This measurement indicates the external distance between the two metal lugs of the case and determines which strap is compatible. To verify correctly, position a tape measure perpendicular to the dial between the external lugs of the case.

For the J-Class PIC.10001-03, we recommend primarily alligator straps from French vegetable-tanned leather, which enhance the formal character of the stainless steel case. Secondarily, Italian agricultural calf in vegetable tanning offers robustness and noble ageing. Woven NATO straps (cotton-linen) allow informal versatility, while FKM rubber straps represent the instrumental choice for intensive daily use.

The strap of the J-Class PIC.10001-03 is changed using a spring bar tool (a tool with two metal tips). Gently insert the tips into the micro-slots on the sides of the metal lug to release the internal spring, then remove the spring bar and previous strap. Insert the new strap aligning it to the lugs, then reinsert the spring bar until it clicks into place.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf in vegetable tanning) typically lasts 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Durability depends on exposure to moisture, sweat and direct sunlight. Italian vegetable-tanned leather straps tend to last longer than synthetic leathers, while also developing a patina that increases their aesthetic character over time.
