Multifort M053.417.11.091.00— lug 22mm

The lug width of the Mido Multifort M053.417.11.091.00 is 22mm. It is measured with a digital calliper by calculating the distance between the two metal pins that protrude from the case. This measurement is critical for purchasing a compatible strap: 22mm is not interchangeable with 20mm or 24mm.

For the Multifort M053.417.11.091.00, we recommend Tuscan leather with vegetable tanning in dark brown or black, which respects the tool-watch soul of the watch and develops natural patina over time. Alligator is the more formal alternative, whilst NATO and FKM rubber offer practicality and versatility for humid environments or water activities.

The strap is changed by removing the spring bars that connect the strap to the case. Use a spring bar tool (small steel tool): insert the forked end under the pin, apply light pressure to flex it, then extract it. Repeat on the other side. Position the new strap by aligning the lugs and reinsert the pins until they click into place. Do not force.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible with the Multifort M053.417.11.091.00. At milanostraps.it, the 22mm collection includes vegetable-tanned leather, alligator, shell cordovan, polyamide NATO and FKM rubber, all tested and ready for dispatch.

A high-quality vegetable-tanned leather strap lasts an average of 3-5 years under normal wear conditions. Durability depends on: frequency of wear, personal perspiration, sun exposure, and maintenance (no prolonged bathing, periodic cleaning with a damp cloth). FKM rubber straps last 5-7 years without degradation.
