FAQ

What is the lug width of the Limes Endurance U8787SW-LA2.1?

The lug width of the Limes Endurance U8787SW-LA2.1 is 22mm. This measurement indicates the distance between the spring bars (small metal pins) that support the strap. It is a widely established standard in contemporary watchmaking and provides access to an extensive catalogue of compatible artisanal straps.

Which strap is best suited for the Limes Endurance U8787SW-LA2.1?

For the Limes Endurance U8787SW-LA2.1, we recommend a strap in premium vegetable-tanned leather, such as Tuscan leather. Vegetable tanning creates a natural patina over time and enhances the professional and essential identity of the watch. Elegant alternatives include alligator for a more formal look, or a cotton nato for sporty contexts.

How do I change the strap on the Limes Endurance U8787SW-LA2.1?

Strap replacement is a straightforward operation. Locate the spring bars (small metal pins) at the ends of the case, beneath the old strap. Use a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) to gently compress the pin and slide it out of the slot. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the spring bars and release. The operation takes just a few minutes and requires no specialised tools.

Are aftermarket straps compatible with the Limes Endurance U8787SW-LA2.1?

How long does a leather strap last on the Limes Endurance U8787SW-LA2.1?

A quality leather strap, such as Tuscan vegetable-tanned leather, has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with daily use, depending on intensity of use and care applied. Vegetable-tanned leather ages gracefully, developing a distinctive patina. To extend its lifespan, avoid prolonged water exposure and occasionally apply a conditioner specifically formulated for natural leather.
