Mido
Baroncelli M7600.3.26.8— lug 15mm

The lug width of the Mido Baroncelli M7600.3.26.8 is 15mm. This measurement represents the internal distance between the two lug horns of the case and is the fundamental parameter for determining the compatibility of any aftermarket strap. Always measure between the internal shoulders of the case to avoid errors.

The Baroncelli, being a pure dress watch, favours premium leather straps: black or dark brown alligator for formal contexts, vegetable-tanned calf for everyday versatility, shell cordovan for extreme artisanal durability. In summer or for sports use, a NATO canvas strap or vulcanised rubber version maintain balanced proportions thanks to the 15mm lug width. Colour matching should reflect your dial variant.

To change the strap, you will need a spring bar tool. Position the watch horizontally, insert the tool into the spring bar slot and gently lift one lug whilst applying upward pressure: the pin will slide outward. Repeat on the other side. Insert the spring bar into the new strap by aligning the holes, then press downward until you hear the locking click. Verify that the spring bar is fully seated in its housings.

Yes, any strap with a 15mm lug width is compatible with the Baroncelli M7600.3.26.8. Always verify the technical specification of the strap before purchase. Milano Straps offers a comprehensive range of artisanal straps in this size, from classic alligator models to contemporary rubber options, all reversible and customisable online.

A premium leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, shell cordovan) worn daily has a longevity of 3-5 years before replacement is required, considering natural wear on the holes and leather softening. Vegetable tanning develops progressive patina that amplifies aesthetic value over time. A vulcanised rubber strap resists 5-8 years. Longevity depends on artisanal build quality and maintenance.
