FAQ
What is the lug width of the Bell & Ross BR-01 BR0194-CA-FIBER-PH?
The lug width of the Bell & Ross BR-01 BR0194-CA-FIBER-PH is 24mm. This measurement is the standard for the square BR-01 models and is proportionate to the short, protruding lugs characteristic of this family. The measurement is taken internally between the two spring bars, excluding the diameter of the lugs themselves.
Which strap is most suitable for the Bell & Ross BR-01 BR0194-CA-FIBER-PH?
The strap most coherent with the technical and sports character of the BR0194-CA-FIBER-PH is alligator leather in brushed finish with wide grain, or vegetable-tanned calf leather in dark brown. Both dialogue with the aeronautical aesthetic without diminishing the visual solidity of the case. A military cotton or ballistic canvas NATO is the choice most faithful to the instrument's heritage, whilst FKM rubber is ideal for practical daily wear.
How do you change the strap on a Bell & Ross BR-01?
The BR-01 uses spring bars to attach the strap. Using a strap tool or thin rod, gently compress the lateral spring mechanism to free the pin. Remove the pin from the first lug, take off the old strap, insert the new one between the lugs, and reintroduce the pin ensuring it clicks into position. Repeat on the other side. The operation requires precision but no special tools.
Which aftermarket straps are compatible with the BR0194-CA-FIBER-PH?
Any strap with a 24mm lug width is compatible with the BR0194-CA-FIBER-PH. Milano Straps offers a comprehensive collection of 24mm straps in alligator, calf, shell cordovan, NATO, rubber and exotic leather, all customisable for thickness, length, initials and thread colour. The Casati Milano atelier also creates custom straps by appointment.
How long does a leather strap last on a Bell & Ross BR-01?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on usage, climate and leather quality. A high-quality alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear under normal conditions. Deterioration is faster in very humid environments or with intense perspiration. Natural ageing of leather is not a defect but an aesthetic evolution. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty on handcrafted straps.
