FAQ

What is the exact lug width of the Itay Noy Identity IDHebrew?

The lug width of the Itay Noy Identity IDHebrew is 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the attachment pins on the case and determines compatibility with any aftermarket strap. To verify it, position a digital calliper perpendicular to the lugs: the standard value is 20mm.

Which strap material is best suited for the IDHebrew?

The ideal strap depends on intended usage. For formal elegance, we recommend alligator or shell cordovan in dark shades (cognac brown, black), which create harmonious contrast with the Hebrew dial. For daily practicality, a heavy cotton NATO or FKM rubber strap maintains both aesthetics and resilience. Vegetable-tanned calf represents the compromise: it develops natural patina over time.

How do you replace the strap on the Itay Noy Identity IDHebrew?

The procedure is straightforward: position the watch on a soft support (flannel cloth) with lugs facing upwards. Using a spring bar tool, gently press the small metal cursor inside the attachment pin to compress the spring. Remove the old strap, insert the new one (20mm) by clicking the pins into the case slots, and verify the fit by gently pressing the strap. Avoid hammers or improvised tools.

Is an aftermarket 20mm strap truly compatible with this model?

Yes, completely. A strap with 20mm lug width attaches mechanically to the case without structural issues. However, always verify that the strap thickness (typically 3.5mm–4.5mm) is consistent with the case lugs. Any brand declaring 20mm compatibility will function correctly. Milano Straps offers a certified selection of artisanal 20mm straps.

How long does a leather strap last in daily wear?

Duration depends on leather type and usage. A vegetable-tanned calf strap typically lasts 2–4 years with moderate daily use, developing natural patina. Alligator is more resilient (4–7 years) due to fibre structure. Rubber and NATO exceed 5 years. Wear factors: perspiration, sun exposure, lack of periodic cleaning. A well-maintained strap with applications of conditioner (mink oil) every 6–12 months will significantly extend its lifespan.
