FAQ
What is the exact lug width of the Limes Endurance U8797-LC2.1?
The lug width of the Limes Endurance U8797-LC2.1 is precisely 20.00 millimetres. This specific measurement represents a deliberate design parameter for this model, differing from the more common 22mm or 18mm standards. It is essential to verify the exact width before ordering a compatible strap to ensure correct positioning within the case lugs.
What is the best strap for the Endurance U8797-LC2.1?
For this model, we recommend materials that respect the aesthetic severity of the case: black or dark brown alligator, vegetable-tanned calf with pronounced grain texture, or technical FKM rubber. A brushed stainless steel deployante buckle completes the constructive harmony. Choice depends on intended use: leather offers daily versatility and develops patina over time; rubber ensures robustness in sporting contexts.
How do I change the strap on my Limes Endurance U8797-LC2.1?
The procedure requires extracting the connecting pins from the lugs. Equip yourself with a dedicated spring bar tool, position the compressor against the internal shoulder of the pin, apply gentle pressure to compress the spring-pin mechanism, and extract horizontally. Reverse the procedure with the new strap. For models with chronograph movement such as the 7750, ensure pins are well-secured to prevent micro-movement during chronograph operation.
Can I use aftermarket compatible straps with my U8797-LC2.1?
Yes, provided they respect the 20mm lug width and the terminal thickness is compatible with the case lugs. Milano Straps artisanal straps are constructed to precise tolerances and undergo quality control before shipment, guaranteeing optimal fit and absence of lateral play.
How long does a leather strap last on the Limes Endurance?
A quality leather strap, subjected to ordinary maintenance (dusting, protection from extreme humidity), maintains structural integrity for 3-5 years under daily use. Durability depends on the tanning method adopted: vegetable tanning develops patina but ages gracefully; modern chemical tannages guarantee colour stability but require UV protection. The deployante buckle has greater longevity than the strap itself, provided the mechanism is not subjected to concentrated impacts.
