Strap for Modello Uno U1S-8N Capri

The lug width of the Modello Uno UWK-U1S-8N is 22mm, measured between the two spring bar articulation pins. This dimension allows compatibility with a vast range of quality straps, from vegetable-tanned leather solutions to technical rubber and NATO bracelets.

The optimal choice depends on intended use. For formal elegance and natural patina: Tuscan leather with vegetable tanning. For tactile sophistication: alligator or shell cordovan. For daily practicality: nitrile rubber or nylon NATO. The satin-finished steel case pairs flawlessly with any of these solutions.

Use a spring bar tool to gently push one of the elastic pins towards the case centre, releasing the spring bar assembly. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the pins and press until you hear a click. Quick operation requiring no specialised tools.

Absolutely. The 22mm lug width of the Modello Uno is compatible with any certified aftermarket strap of matching width. Milano Straps offers a complete collection of solutions specifically certified for this dimension, ensuring compatibility and durability.

A vegetable-tanned leather strap typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use and regular maintenance (cleaning with a damp cloth, air drying). Alligator leather is more durable (5-7 years). Longevity depends on moisture exposure, perspiration, and direct sunlight. The patina that develops is a sign of noble ageing, not degradation.
