The Heritage

The Armin Strom Gravity features the in-house manufactured caliber ADD14 with hours, minutes, small seconds, and day/night indicator. The movement also includes a date function and represents one of the complications developed internally by the Swiss brand. The case houses the caliber through a construction that highlights the mechanical elements of the movement.

FAQ

What is the lug width of the Armin Strom Gravity ST14-DW.50?

The Armin Strom Gravity ST14-DW.50 features a <strong>20mm</strong> lug width. This standard <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/misura-ansa">lug width</a> is one of the most versatile dimensions in watchmaking, offering extensive compatibility with aftermarket straps. At 20mm, the proportions remain harmonious relative to the 43.40mm case diameter, allowing considerable freedom in material and colour selection.

What is the best strap for the Armin Strom Gravity ST14-DW.50?

Given the transparent, architectural character of the Gravity, we recommend <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/alligatore">alligator</a> or calf leather with <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/concia-vegetale">vegetable tanning</a> in neutral tones—dark brown, black, sand beige. These materials breathe visually without competing with the movement's complexity. For sporting contexts, NATO straps in saturated colours create refined contrast with steel and calibre. Avoid excessive gloss: the natural patina of vegetable-tanned leather dialogues better with the rough-refined aesthetic of the piece.

How do I change the strap on an Armin Strom Gravity ST14-DW.50?

The Armin Strom Gravity features integrated lugs with straight bars on both sides of the case. To replace the strap, obtain a quality spring bar tool. Position it perpendicular to the lug from beneath the lug hole to compress the internal spring. Once compressed, the old strap will slide free. Insert the new 20mm strap, aligning the side holes, then release the spring. Verify both sides are secured. For straps with <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/deployante">deployante</a> clasps, the procedure remains identical: the clasp engages after strap installation.

Are Milano Straps aftermarket straps compatible with the Gravity ST14-DW.50?

Yes, completely. All <a href="https://milanostraps.it/collections/cinturini-orologi-per-misura-ansa-20mm">20mm straps</a> from Milano Straps are engineered for standard 20mm lugs, which the Armin Strom Gravity utilises. Milano Straps' bespoke quality—curated leather, double-layer stitching, artisanal finishing—ensures both geometric compatibility and longevity. Each handcrafted strap respects the precise tolerances required by integrated lugs.

How long does a leather strap last on an Armin Strom Gravity ST14-DW.50?

A leather strap, particularly one crafted in <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/concia-vegetale">vegetable tanning</a>, delivers 3–5 years of daily wear on a timepiece like the Gravity. Longevity depends on moisture exposure, perspiration, and thermal variation. Vegetable-tanned leather develops a rich, distinctive <strong>patina</strong> over time, enhancing aesthetic value. To extend strap life, avoid prolonged water immersion, occasionally condition with natural balms, and allow complete drying after moisture contact. Natural grain ensures elegant, non-linear ageing.
