Laco
Squad Watches 862106.MB— lug 20mm

The Laco 862106.MB features a 20mm lug width, determined by the proportion between the 42mm case diameter and the geometry of the attachment pins. When ordering an aftermarket strap, always verify compatibility with 20mm lug width to ensure a perfect fit.

We recommend a leather strap with vegetable tanning on European calf leather, preferably in chocolate brown or deep black tones. Vegetable-tanned leather develops a natural patina over time that reflects the vintage aesthetic of the watch. Alternatively, a cotton biological NATO strap is ideal for intensive use. Avoid materials that compete visually with the watch's sober appearance.

The process is straightforward: use a spring bar tool (with a rounded tip) to gently press the small metal pin inside the lug. The pin will retract, releasing the previous strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes at the ends, then release the pin. Repeat on the other side. If unfamiliar with the process, consult a professional watchmaker.

Yes, absolutely. Any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible. On milanostraps.it you'll find a wide selection of artisanal straps certified for this measurement: leather, NATO, technical rubber. Always verify that the strap is specifically compatible with 20mm before purchase.

A quality leather strap (vegetable tanned, European calf) with daily use has an average lifespan of 3-5 years. Longevity depends on sun exposure, humidity, and cleaning frequency. Vegetable tanning develops a protective patina naturally. With regular maintenance (gentle cleaning, conditioner application), you can extend durability to 7-8 years.
