Strap for Executive Titanium / Blue

The Ulysse Nardin Executive 3713-260-3/03 features a lug width of 20mm. This dimension is standardised across all units of this reference and permits compatibility with any commercially available 20mm strap. To verify aftermarket strap compatibility, measure the distance between the inner shoulders of the case lugs: it must equal precisely 20mm.

The optimal strap selection depends upon intended use cases. For urban elegance, we recommend alligator with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan, which generate sophisticated contrast against the titanium case. For daily wear resilience, vegetable-tanned calf with fine grain offers vibrant patina development and durability. For active lifestyle, technical NATO or vulcanised rubber ensure maximum robustness. The aesthetic profile of the titanium-ceramic case pairs exceptionally well with materials exhibiting natural texture characteristics.

The strap is secured via spring bars: small metallic rods positioned horizontally within the case lugs. To remove the strap, employ a spring bar remover tool to compress the spring mechanism until one bar disengages from its seat, then gently extract the strap. Conversely, align the lug hole with the central pin, insert the compressed spring bar into its seat, and release. This procedure requires no movement access and is completely reversible.

Yes, absolutely. All 20mm-width straps are compatible with the 3713-260-3/03, provided the spring bars are intact and correctly dimensioned (typical diameter 1.8mm). Artisanal Milanese straps from Milano Straps are specifically engineered for this lug width and guarantee superior constructive quality, with meticulous internal finishing and traceable materials. No case modifications are necessary.

A leather strap's longevity depends upon tanning methodology, usage frequency, and environmental exposure. A vegetable-tanned calf strap typically adheres for 3-5 years under intensive daily wear, developing desirable patina. Alligator and shell cordovan, by virtue of superior material properties, extend resistance to 5-7 years. Moisture, perspiration, and thermal fluctuations accelerate natural ageing processes. Milanese straps featuring artisanal vegetable tanning retain extended structural elasticity compared to industrial productions.
