Laco
Squad Watches 862108.MB— lug 20mm

The lug width of the Laco Squad Watches 862108.MB is 20mm. This measurement is taken between the inner shoulders of the lugs and is essential for correct aftermarket strap selection. A common mistake is confusing this specification with approximate values such as 18mm or 22mm, which would result in incompatibility or poor wearing ergonomics.

For the Laco Squad Watches 862108.MB, we recommend leather straps with vegetable tanning (calf or alligator) for classic aesthetic appeal, NATO straps in heavy canvas for tactical versatility, or FKM rubber for extreme environments. The choice depends on your intended use and personal preference. Cognac brown calf complements the white dial, whilst grey-green NATO recalls the aviation heritage.

Changing the strap on the 862108.MB requires the use of a spring bar tool for strap removal. Remove the spring bar from one side, carefully slide out the existing strap, then insert the new strap ensuring the spring bar clicks firmly into position. Never force: gradual pressure prevents case damage. If you lack experience, consult a professional watchmaker.

All straps with a 20mm lug width are compatible with the Laco Squad Watches 862108.MB. Always verify the technical specifications of the product before purchase. Our handcrafted leather, NATO and rubber straps in 20mm offer guaranteed compatibility and superior quality, with aesthetic customization options available.

Leather strap longevity depends on material type and usage patterns. A vegetable-tanned calf strap typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear; shell cordovan easily exceeds 10 years. Sun exposure, humidity and perspiration accelerate deterioration. Periodic maintenance—cleaning, drying and conditioning with natural oils—significantly extends strap lifespan.
