FAQ

What is the lug width of the Limes Chyros U6017-LA2.3?

The lug width of the Limes Chyros U6017-LA2.3 is 20mm. This measurement refers to the outer diameter of the spring bar pins that connect the case to the straps. It is essential to verify this dimension before ordering an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect compatibility.

Which strap is best suited for the Limes Chyros U6017-LA2.3?

For the minimalist Scandinavian design of the Chyros, we recommend an alligator strap with vegetable tanning (dark brown or black) for a formal and timeless appearance. Alternatively, a chromium-tanned calf or NATO polyamide strap offers daily versatility. The choice depends on your personal style: understated elegance or sports practicality.

How do you change the strap on a Limes Chyros watch?

Strap replacement is performed by removing the lateral spring bar pins (spring bars) from the case lugs using a dedicated tool (spring bar tool). Insert the new strap into the attachments, ensuring the pins are fully seated. If uncertain, consult a professional watchmaker or contact Atelier Casati Milano for bespoke guidance.

Are aftermarket straps compatible with the Limes Chyros U6017-LA2.3?

Yes, all straps with a 20mm lug width are compatible with the Chyros. Milanostraps.it offers an extensive selection of artisanal straps in leather, NATO, and rubber, carefully curated for build quality and durability. Always verify the 20mm specification before ordering.

How long does a leather strap last on the Limes Chyros?

A high-quality leather strap (alligator or calf) typically lasts 3-5 years with daily wear, depending on tanning method and climatic conditions. Vegetable-tanned leather develops a natural patina over time, enhancing aesthetic character. FKM rubber offers greater longevity (5-7 years) and humidity resistance. Periodic replacement is recommended to maintain optimal hygiene and aesthetics.
