Which strap should I choose to enhance the aesthetic of the Altitude Officer 101OEIW?

How do I change the strap on the Altitude Officer 101OEIW?
The Altitude Officer 101OEIW features integrated lugs on the case. To change the strap, gently remove the original strap by sliding the spring bars laterally with a spring bar tool. Insert the new 20mm strap into the lugs, ensuring the bars lock securely. We recommend visiting Casati Milano atelier for strap changes if you prefer to avoid the risk of case scratching.
Which aftermarket strap is compatible with the 101OEIW?

How long does a leather strap last on the Altitude Officer 101OEIW?
The lifespan of a natural leather strap varies depending on material and usage conditions. An alligator or vegetable-tanned shell cordovan strap, with proper care (avoiding prolonged moisture and occasionally applying specific balms), will last 5-7 years of intensive use. Calf leather is slightly more vulnerable and requires greater care, approximately 3-5 years. FKM rubber maintains consistent performance for 7-10 years without significant degradation.
