Strap for TWCO Sea Rescue Diver SRD

The TWCO Sea Rescue Diver SRD features a lug width of 22 millimetres. This width is the standard for 44mm dive watches and enables compatibility with a wide selection of aftermarket straps, from leather to fabric NATO and rubber solutions.

We recommend the NATO Premium in military-inspired colours (olive green, antracite grey, or black) for the Sea Rescue Diver SRD, as it complements the watch's technical vocation. Alternatively, an alligatore strap with vegetable tanning and a deployante clasp offers an elegant balance between aesthetics and functionality, developing an intriguing patina over time.

Changing the strap on the Sea Rescue Diver SRD requires specialist tools: a small flat-head screwdriver and a spring bar remover. Position the watch on a support cushion, insert the spring bar remover under one lug's pin and apply gentle downward pressure to compress the internal spring, then carefully extract the pin. Repeat on the other side. Once the lugs are freed, install the new strap by reversing the procedure.

Yes, any 22mm aftermarket strap is compatible with the Sea Rescue Diver SRD. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of leather, NATO, and rubber straps, all tested for the 22mm lug width and ready to ship. It is advisable to verify that the watch's pins are in good condition to ensure stable retention over time.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on construction quality, tanning method, and intensity of use. An alligatore strap with vegetable tanning, worn daily, typically lasts 5–7 years; a regenerated calf strap may last 3–5 years. Exposure to salt water and chlorine accelerates ageing. To extend longevity, rotate between multiple straps and periodically apply a leather-specific conditioner.
