Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Van der Gang Watches Gents 20025?
The lug width of the Van der Gang Watches Gents 20025 is 20mm. This is a non-standard size in mass-market horology, but precisely proportioned to the 41mm case diameter. To verify compatibility of a strap, measure the internal distance between the two spring bar anchor points using a digital calliper.
Which strap should I pair with the Van der Gang Gents 20025 in rose gold?
For the Van der Gang 20025 in rose gold, we recommend straps in warm tones: alligator with vegetable tanning in cognac or burgundy brown, shell cordovan, or Italian vegetable-tanned satinised calf. Avoid light grey or white straps, which dilute the presence of the precious case. Stitching should be colour-coordinated: ivory thread on warm leather, natural thread on darker leather.
How do I change a strap on a watch with 20mm lugs?
Position the watch on a soft cushion. Use a spring bar tool to gently compress the lateral spring bar rings of the current strap, allowing you to withdraw them from the case lugs. Align the new strap precisely and re-compress the springs until they click firmly into place. Verify there is no gap between strap and lug.
Can I use an aftermarket strap on the Van der Gang 20025?
Yes, you may use any quality aftermarket strap with a 20mm lug width on the Van der Gang 20025. Milanostraps.it offers a curated selection of artisanal straps in leather, NATO, and rubber, all compatible with this model. Always verify that the strap is manufactured specifically for a 20mm lug width to avoid play or friction.
How long does a leather strap last on a daily-worn watch?
A quality leather strap, made with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan, typically lasts 5–10 years under daily wear. Longevity depends on exposure to moisture, perspiration, and UV radiation. A vegetable-tanned satinised calf strap lasts approximately 4–6 years. Regular maintenance—gentle cleaning and conditioning with natural oils every 12 months—significantly extends lifespan.
