Strap for Marine Torpilleur Moonphase Stainless Steel / White / Alligator

The lug width of the Ulysse Nardin Marine 1193-310LE-0A-175/1A is 21 mm. This dimension, whilst uncommon, is specifically calibrated to the proportions of the 42 mm case, ensuring visual harmony and constructive compatibility with the original lugs. It is advisable to measure precisely before ordering an aftermarket strap, as even a 1 mm variance can compromise the interface between strap and case.

The choice depends on intended use and desired aesthetics. Alligator leather dyed in black or navy blue emphasises the maritime character whilst maintaining formal elegance. Vegetable-tanned calf offers organic texture that ages nobly, ideal for those appreciating chromatic evolution over time. NATO straps in grey or brown cordura represent the versatile, practical solution for intense nautical environments. FKM rubber in black or blue guarantees maximum saltwater resistance and extreme durability in aggressive marine conditions.

The Marine 1193-310LE-0A-175/1A features straight lugs without integrated spring bar devices. To change the strap: remove the current strap, gently compress the lug to create clearance for the spring bar mechanism, insert a dedicated tool to release the spring button, extract the old strap, insert the new strap ensuring the spring button engages in the appointed seats. Professional assistance is recommended if you lack proper tools, as improper technique risks scratching the case or damaging the delicate lug seats.

Yes, artisanal aftermarket straps specifically manufactured for 21 mm lug width are available. MilanoStraps offers a dedicated collection of straps in leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), NATO, and technical rubber—all bespoke-crafted and compatible with the Marine's constructive specifications. Choosing artisanal straps guarantees quality control superior to standardised industrial solutions, enabling chromatic combinations and noble materials impossible to source in mass-market offerings.

Leather strap longevity depends on intensity of wear, climate exposure, and construction quality. A vegetable-tanned alligator or calf strap, worn daily under normal conditions, maintains structural integrity for 5–7 years. Frequent saltwater or extreme humidity exposure reduces this to 3–4 years. Technical FKM rubber straps demonstrate significantly superior longevity (10+ years) in marine environments, offsetting reduced aesthetic patina development. Periodic maintenance—cleaning with damp cloth, annual conditioning with appropriate oils—substantially extends the lifespan of any natural-material strap.
