FAQ

What is the lug width of the Limes Endurance U8887B-LA1.1?

The lug width of the Limes Endurance U8887B-LA1.1 is 22 millimetres. This measurement is essential when purchasing compatible aftermarket straps and is measured from the inner point of one lug to the inner point of the opposite lug. Milano Straps stocks a comprehensive selection of straps specifically dimensioned for this lug width.

Which type of strap do you recommend for the Limes Endurance U8887B-LA1.1?

For the Endurance U8887B-LA1.1, we recommend straps that do not compete visually with the sober case: a burnt brown alligator for the formal interpretation, vegetable-tanned calf leather for those who appreciate aesthetic evolution over time, or NATO in cotton or FKM rubber for sports-oriented use. Your choice depends on your usage context and personal style. Milano Straps offers all these categories in 22mm lug width.

How do I change the strap on the Limes Endurance U8887B-LA1.1?

Strap replacement requires specialised tools (spring bar tool) to remove the pins anchoring the strap to the lugs. If you are not experienced, we recommend consulting a professional. Milano Straps, through the Casati Milano atelier, offers bespoke installation services by appointment, ensuring precision and attention to detail.

Can I use an aftermarket strap on my Limes Endurance U8887B-LA1.1?

Yes, provided the strap is dimensioned for a 22mm lug width. Milano Straps offers a complete range of artisanal straps in this measurement, fully compatible with the U8887B-LA1.1. All our straps are manufactured to elevated construction standards and guarantee build quality equal to or superior to original factory straps.

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

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on frequency of use, climate exposure, and care applied. A calf leather strap with vegetable tanning, used daily, has an average lifespan of 3–5 years before replacement is advisable. Alligator, being a denser leather, can last 5–7 years. FKM rubber is virtually timeless. Milano Straps offers renewal and replacement services at the Casati Milano atelier.
