Strap for Modello Uno U1-MOMA-G / MoMA Blue

The lug width of the U1-MOMA-B is 22mm. This width represents the classical standard for 41.50mm cases, ensuring harmonious proportions between the case and the strap. To verify the measurement correctly, position a digital calliper perpendicular to the lugs, measuring the internal distance from shoulder to shoulder.

The choice depends on intended usage. Alligator with vegetable tanning enhances minimalist aesthetics, contrasting with the brushed steel; cognac-coloured calf introduces discreet warmth; a black military NATO amplifies the tool-watch character. Aesthetic coherence with the design's minimalist philosophy remains the decisive criterion.

The U1-MOMA-B uses traditional spring bars for strap attachment to the lugs. Remove the original strap using a dedicated strap removal tool, insert the spring bar carefully into the lug hole, then seat the new strap ensuring it is perfectly fitted. The procedure requires precision to avoid case scratches.

Any strap with a 22mm lug width is theoretically compatible. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of leather, NATO and rubber straps specifically dimensioned for this width. Always verify that the strap shoulders seat correctly in the lugs without forcing.

A quality leather strap with vegetable tanning typically lasts 3-5 years under regular use conditions. Longevity depends on moisture exposure, frequency of use and care applied. The natural patina that develops over time is a desirable characteristic, not a sign of imminent degradation.
