Strap for Modello Uno U1-DZN

The Modello Uno U1-DZN features a lug width of 22 millimetres. This measurement, also referred to as strap width, indicates the distance between the two attachment points on the case. To verify, place a calliper perpendicular to the case at the attachment holes: you will find exactly 22 millimetres.

For the Modello Uno U1-DZN we recommend a vegetable-tanned leather strap in dark brown. This material choice respects the watch's minimalist philosophy and develops a noble patina over time. Alternatively, rigid calf leather with smooth finish or NATO fabric straps are valid choices from both functional and aesthetic perspectives.

To change the strap you will need a dedicated tool called a spring bar tool. Position the curved tip of the tool in the side holes of the case (one on each side) to compress the spring bars. Once the anchors are released, the old strap slides away. Insert the new strap, aligning the spring bars in the attachment holes, and release pressure. The operation requires care to avoid scratching the case.

Yes, any strap with a 22-millimetre lug width is compatible with the Modello Uno U1-DZN. On milanostraps.it you will find a selection of straps in vegetable-tanned leather, NATO, rubber and other materials, all available in the 22mm size and tested for compatibility with watches in this category.

A vegetable-tanned leather strap subjected to daily wear typically lasts between 2 and 4 years, depending on exposure to moisture, perspiration and climate conditions. Natural leather ages rather than deteriorates, developing noble creasing and colour variations. Occasionally applying a natural conditioner extends the strap's functional life and preserves its flexibility.
