The lug width is 20mm. This measurement is determined by measuring the internal distance between the case lugs with a digital caliper. It is essential for selecting a compatible strap and ensuring perfect and stable fitment.

The best strap depends on usage. For formal contexts, we recommend alligator with vegetable tanning or Hermès calf; for sport, vulcanised rubber with aggressive texture; for versatility, technical nylon or ballistic fabric. The choice should reflect the cool stainless steel and ceramic elegance of the case.

Yes, provided the lug width is 20mm. Artisanal straps from specialised producers such as Milano Straps guarantee certified compatibility and bespoke customisation, preserving the aesthetic proportion of the case.

A fine leather strap with vegetable tanning and manual construction lasts 3–5 years with daily use if subjected to periodic maintenance: gentle cleaning, air drying, and protection from excessive moisture and perspiration. Natural ageing imparts patina whilst preserving structure if the strap is manufactured by experienced craftsmen.
