Strap for Pinky PVD Gold / MOP / Bracelet

The lug width is 20mm. This measurement is critical for strap compatibility and must be verified with a digital calliper, measuring perpendicular to the inside walls of the lug, excluding the metal lugs themselves.

Black or dark brown alligator emphasises the minimalist architecture of the stainless steel case, whilst vegetable-tanned calf in cognac tone balances the geometric coldness of the dial. For a more dynamic profile, NATO straps in navy blue or anthracite are excellent choices. Structured rubber straps remain the preferred option in high-humidity environments.

Remove the spring bars using a dedicated spring bar tool or, alternatively, a small flat-head screwdriver. Insert the blade gently into the lateral slots of the lug to release the pins. Once extracted, the bracelet disengages. The new strap must have an internal width of 20mm for proper fit. Reinsert the pins into the new strap with angular movements until they lock into place.

Yes, numerous quality manufacturers produce 20mm-compatible straps. Milano Straps offers a dedicated collection in alligator, calf, NATO, and rubber. It is essential to verify that the internal width is precisely 20mm and that the pin holes are correctly positioned. Purchasing from specialised suppliers ensures thickness and finishing proportionate to the case.

Longevity depends on material and usage. A quality alligator strap typically lasts between 4-7 years under regular use. Vegetable-tanned calf usually resists 3-5 years. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, and thermal fluctuations accelerates ageing. Regular maintenance (drying after sweat contact, occasional conditioning) significantly extends durability.
