FAQ

What is the lug width of the Limes Chyros U6017-LA1.1?

The Limes Chyros U6017-LA1.1 features 20mm lugs. This width is standard for mid-to-high-end watches and provides access to a broad range of artisanal straps. To verify the measurement, use a digital calliper and measure the net distance between the two metal lugs, excluding the articulation point.

Which strap do you recommend for the Limes Chyros U6017-LA1.1?

For the Chyros U6017-LA1.1, we recommend straps in alligator with vegetable tanning or grain vitello in warm tones (cognac, bordeaux, tobacco). These materials dialogue naturally with the satin-finished steel case of the 43mm model. For sporty use, a heavyweight cotton NATO or structured FKM rubber guarantees versatility and practicality.

How do you change the strap on a watch with 20mm lugs?

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool (specific instrument for removing pins). Position the tool in the slot beneath the lug, lift the metal hook and extract the transverse pin. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the lugs and reinsert the pins in the correct position, ensuring they are firmly secured.

Are aftermarket straps compatible with the Limes Chyros U6017-LA1.1?

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Chyros U6017-LA1.1. It is essential to verify that the width is exactly 20mm when measured between the lugs. Custom straps crafted by houses of excellence guarantee millimetric tolerances and build quality that enhance the watch.

What is the average lifespan of an artisanal leather strap?

A quality leather strap (alligator or vitello with vegetable tanning) lasts an average of 3-5 years with daily use, provided it is maintained correctly: frequent drying after water exposure, avoiding excessively humid environments, applying protective wax every 6-12 months. The patina that develops over time is a sign of authenticity and further ennobles the watch.
