Strap for Sea Rescue Diver "Tactical Model" DLC

The lug width of the TWCO Sea Rescue Diver SRD-DLC is 22mm. This dimension corresponds to the space between the case lugs where the strap is fitted. To verify correctly, measure the internal gap between the two lugs with a digital calliper or check the marking on the case itself.

For the SRD-DLC we recommend a strap in vegetable-tanned leather (alligator or calf) in dark brown or black tones, or a NATO in high-density nylon ripstop for tactical applications. Vegetable-tanned leather offers subtle elegance and authentic patina over time; NATO ensures grip when wet and minimal maintenance. Avoid synthetic varnished straps.

Remove the strap using a spring bar removal tool: insert the tip into the lug hole, push outward to release the spring, then extract the pin. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap into the lugs, ensuring the pins click firmly into position. If you are not experienced, consult a professional watchmaker.

Yes, any 22mm strap is compatible with the TWCO Sea Rescue Diver SRD-DLC. Ensure the lug width is exactly 22mm (measured from the inside of one slot to the inside of the other). Higher quality straps in vegetable-tanned leather, shell cordovan or natural rubber will enhance tactile experience and durability.

A high-quality vegetable-tanned leather strap lasts 3-5 years with regular wear, depending on ambient humidity, frequency of sun exposure and tactical use. If used primarily in immersion or very humid environments, durability may reduce to 18-24 months. NATO and rubber offer superior water resistance and durability up to 7-10 years; maintenance consists of rinsing with fresh water and air drying.
