FAQ
What is the lug width of the Bell & Ross BR-01 BR0194-B-ROCKET?
The Bell & Ross BR-01 BR0194-B-ROCKET features a lug width of 24mm. This measurement is specific to high-end models and requires straps compatible with this exact dimension. To verify compatibility, measure the space between the lugs using a digital calliper with ±0.2mm tolerance.
Which strap is recommended for the BR0194-B-ROCKET?
For the BR0194-B-ROCKET we recommend noble materials in 24mm width: genuine alligator for formal elegance, shell cordovan for tactile depth and evolving patina over time, vegetable-tanned calf for versatility and authenticity. The robust 46mm case benefits from materials that highlight natural texture and grain rather than glossy finishes.
How do I change the strap on the Bell & Ross BR-01 BR0194-B-ROCKET?
The BR0194-B-ROCKET is fitted with threaded pins (spring bars with threading). Use a dedicated watch pin remover: position the tool under the pin and rotate gently clockwise until release. Align the new strap with the lug width and reinsert the pin, checking both sides are secure. If you prefer professional assistance, the Casati Milano atelier offers strap changes with compatibility verification.
Is there an aftermarket strap compatible with 24mm lug width?
Yes, online you can find 24mm straps ready for shipment, customisable in length, initials and thread colour. The advantage of aftermarket straps is the ability to choose materials (alligator, shell cordovan, calf, NATO) and colours according to your aesthetic preferences whilst maintaining total geometric compatibility with the BR0194-B-ROCKET case.
How long does a leather strap last on the Bell & Ross BR-01 BR0194-B-ROCKET?
Durability depends on material and intensive use. Alligator and shell cordovan, with proper tanning, guarantee 5-7 years of daily wear before restoration is required. Vegetable-tanned calf evolves rapidly but maintains functionality for 4-6 years. To extend strap life, avoid prolonged exposure to salt water and dry it promptly after accidental moisture contact.
