Strap for T-Race Touch Aluminium / Black

The lug width is 20mm, measured as the internal distance between the two lugs. To verify compatibility of an aftermarket strap, insert a thin steel ruler perpendicularly between the lugs without applying pressure and read the exact millimetre value.

The best strap depends on intended use. For sporty elegance, we recommend dark brown or black alligator; for sustainability, vegetable-tanned calf; for intensive activities (trekking, marine environments), FKM rubber or cordura NATO provide moisture resistance and durability. A stainless steel deployante clasp represents the most versatile solution between formal and casual.

Remove the strap by gently unscrewing the lugs (hollow tubular bars passing laterally through the watch). Use a glass or nylon pin punch to avoid scratches: insert the tool from one side, apply gentle outward pressure until the lug releases. Repeat on the opposite side. Install the new strap by reversing the process, ensuring lugs are firmly seated and symmetrical.

Yes, all straps with 20mm lug width are fully compatible. Milano Straps offers handcrafted leather, NATO, and rubber straps in 20mm size, ready for immediate installation without mechanical adjustments or lug filing.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) has an average lifespan of 3-5 years under moderate-to-intensive use. Natural patina improves aesthetics over time. Factors accelerating wear: prolonged UV exposure, constant humidity, perspiration, salt-spray marine environments. Regular maintenance (annual conditioning with neutral cream) significantly extends strap life.
