Strap for Aquaracer 300M Quartz 32 Stainless Steel / MOP / Bracelet

The lug width of the TAG Heuer Aquaracer WBD131A.FT6170 is precisely 20mm. This measurement is critical for mechanical compatibility with the strap: even deviations of 1-2mm render the strap unusable. We recommend measuring the space between the case lugs directly using a digital calliper for double verification before purchase.

Strap choice depends on usage and aesthetic preferences. Vegetable-tanned alligator offers luxury and authentic patina development over time. Vegetable-tanned calf leather provides daily versatility and genuine ageing characteristics. Vulcanised rubber is ideal if you frequent aquatic environments regularly, as it is fully waterproof and highly resistant. Robust textile NATO remains the practical choice for dynamism and climatic variability, maintaining the watch's silhouette in every situation.

The strap is removed using a spring bar removal tool. Position the tool under the end of the spring bar, apply gentle pressure to compress it, and simultaneously withdraw the strap. Repeat the operation on the opposite lug. To install the new strap, align the ends with the lugs, then carefully reposition the spring bars until they click fully into place. Do not use excessive force to avoid damaging the case.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the WBD131A.FT6170. Milano Straps offers an extensive selection of artisanal 20mm straps in alligator, calf leather, rubber and NATO, ready for dispatch and customisable in size, initials and thread colour. The Casati Milano atelier also creates fully bespoke straps, with personal leather selection and 18-month warranty.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on usage and construction quality. An artisanally crafted alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap, with precise stitching and correct finishing, can last 3-5 years under moderate daily wear conditions. Prolonged exposure to sunlight, heat and moisture accelerates ageing. Vulcanised rubber straps offer superior durability (5-7 years), whilst robust textile NATO can exceed 7-8 years. The 18-month warranty offered by Casati Milano covers manufacturing defects.
