Bravur
Team Heritage REN— lug 18mm

The Bravur Team Heritage REN features an 18mm lug width. This dimension provides superior stylistic versatility, allowing pairing with both sporty NATO straps and elegant leather or shell cordovan solutions. Measurement is taken from the inside of the lug to the case base, ensuring precise compatibility with artisanal straps available in the catalogue.

Selection depends on intended use. For elegant contexts, we recommend alligator with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan in burgundy, which acquires rich patina over time. For sporting-daily use, a gummed calf or NATO in Cordura canvas enhance the model's versatility. In marine or humid environments, a vulcanised FKM rubber strap represents the most durable and functional solution.

The Team Heritage REN uses a standard 18mm spring bar. To replace, gently push the spring bar inward using a dedicated extractor or small flat screwdriver. Align the new strap beneath the lug, insert the spring bar at both ends, verifying it seats fully. If you have a deployante, the process is even simpler as it allows you to avoid fully detaching the strap during replacement.

Yes, entirely. The 18mm lug accepts any artisanal or industrial strap designed for this width. Milano Straps offers a specialised selection of 18mm straps in leather, NATO and rubber, all pre-tested for mechanical compatibility with Bravur. Verify that the strap thickness, particularly near the lug area, does not exceed 3.5-4mm to avoid rubbing against the case.

Durability depends on tanning and intensity of use. A calf with vegetable tanning, worn daily, guarantees 2-3 years before the first layer thins. Shell cordovan lasts 4-5 years thanks to denser fibrous structure. Canvas NATO can exceed 8-10 years with routine maintenance (washing, drying). The patina that forms is desirable: it represents the natural ageing of the material, imparting unique character to each individual watch.
