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

The lug width is 20mm. This width is specific to this women's Aquaracer model and must be measured perpendicularly between the inner edges of the two lugs on the case. It is not compatible with 22mm or other sized straps.

The choice depends on intended use: alligator with vegetable tanning is ideal for developing patina over time and offers intrinsic softness; box calf leather provides robustness at lower cost; nylon ripstop NATO is the solution for true diving, ensuring saltwater resistance. We recommend medium brown or black alligator for aesthetic harmony with the case's satin-brushed steel finish.

Use a spring bar tool (specific implement with flat ends) to extract the metal pin (spring bar) connecting the strap to the lugs. Position the tip under the pin, press downward to compress the internal spring, and grasp the strap with your other hand to extract it. Reverse the procedure for the new strap, ensuring the pin clicks securely into both lugs.

Yes, provided it is exactly 20mm in lug width. A quality aftermarket strap (alligator, calf, vegetable tanning) does not damage the timepiece. We recommend straps from specialist craftsmen who understand construction tolerances and offer minimum 18-month warranty.

Durability depends on material and use: alligator with vegetable tanning supported by quality stitching exceeds 4-5 years of daily wear in temperate climate; calf leather has similar longevity if not subjected to prolonged sun exposure; synthetic NATO lasts 8-10 years without significant degradation. Frequent immersion in saltwater reduces natural leather lifespan; periodic renewal is advised to maintain the WBD1320.BB0320 in optimal condition.
