FAQ
What is the lug width of the De Bethune DB25 DB25VTIS3?
The lug width of the DB25VTIS3 is 20 millimetres. This measurement is determined by the distance between the integrated lugs of the case and represents the maximum width that a strap must possess to fit correctly. Accurate measurement of this dimension is essential before purchasing an aftermarket strap, as an oversized strap will not fit into the lugs, whilst an undersized strap will leave undesirable gaps.
What is the best strap for the De Bethune DB25 DB25VTIS3?
The optimal choice depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For formal contexts, glossy black alligator delivers uncompromising elegance. For those seeking evolving visual character over time, vegetable-tanned calf leather in cognac brown develops a remarkable patina. Dark grey NATO straps maintain the technical coherence of the case, whilst black rubber suits sports contexts. Your selection should reflect how you intend to wear the watch.
How do I change the strap on the De Bethune DB25 DB25VTIS3?
The DB25VTIS3 features non-standard integrated lugs fused directly into the case. To change the strap, carefully insert the new strap into the lugs, ensuring the width is precisely 20 millimetres. Avoid using aggressive tools that could damage the titanium finish. Should you be uncertain of the procedure, we recommend consulting a specialised watchmaker or contacting our team for guidance.
Is there an aftermarket strap compatible with the De Bethune DB25 DB25VTIS3?
Yes, perfectly compatible. Any strap with a 20-millimetre lug width will fit the DB25VTIS3. We offer an extensive collection of straps in alligator, calf leather, NATO, and rubber, specifically dimensioned for this measurement. Explore our 20mm strap section to discover available options in various materials and colourways.
How long does a leather strap last on the De Bethune DB25 DB25VTIS3?
Durability depends on material and usage intensity. An alligator strap, if properly maintained and protected from excessive moisture, may last 4–6 years of daily wear. Vegetable-tanned calf develops a natural patina that enhances its appeal over time, though it may require replacement within 3–5 years if used intensively. We recommend periodic maintenance and rotating between straps to extend longevity.
