What I'm asked about the Zenith El Primero 18.2043.400/69.C494
What strap size does the Zenith El Primero 18.2043.400/69.C494 take?
The Zenith El Primero 18.2043.400/69.C494 needs 22 mm between the lugs, usually 18 or 20 mm at the buckle. It's the size I've been fitting on it for years.
Can the strap on the Zenith El Primero 18.2043.400/69.C494 be changed?
Yes. It has spring bars between the lugs: with the right tool the strap comes off in a minute. If you'd rather not risk a scratch, I do it in the workshop.
Can I put a leather strap on the Zenith El Primero 18.2043.400/69.C494?
Yes, in 22 mm leather. On a 42 mm chronograph I like box calf: it holds its shape and carries a substantial case.
Which strap do you recommend for the Zenith El Primero 18.2043.400/69.C494?
A 22 mm box calf. You'll find it ready in the 22 mm collection. If you'd rather have something built on your wrist, the Casati atelier.
