FAQ

What is the lug width of the Certina DS Podium C0014101605702?

The lug width is 19 millimetres. This measurement, verifiable with a digital calliper between the lug axes, ensures complete compatibility with the range of handcrafted leather, NATO and rubber straps from Milano Straps.

Which strap should I choose for the Certina DS Podium?

For daily formal wear, we recommend full-grain leather with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan. For sports activities or humid climates, a heavyweight canvas NATO ensures practicality and durability. Vulcanised rubber is ideal for summer months, maintaining comfort and longevity.

How do I change the strap on my Certina DS Podium C0014101605702?

Remove the watch from its current strap using a lug bar or precision tool. Position the watch on a stable base and insert the new strap into the lugs until it clicks into place. If the strap features a deployante clasp, ensure the mechanism is properly closed before wearing.

Which aftermarket straps are compatible with the Certina DS Podium?

All straps with a 19mm lug width are compatible. Milano Straps offers a specialised range in Italian calf leather, natural alligator, NATO canvas and vulcanised rubber, customisable in colour, clasp type and stitch pattern according to your aesthetic and functional preferences.

How long does a leather strap last on the Certina DS Podium?

A full-grain leather strap with vegetable tanning typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, developing natural patina. Shell cordovan, being denser, can reach 6–8 years. Longevity depends on maintenance, moisture exposure and frequency of wear. Milano Straps provides specific care instructions for each leather type.
