FAQ
What is the lug width of the Mido Ocean Star M026.907.17.051.00?
The lug width of the Mido Ocean Star M026.907.17.051.00 is 20 mm. This measurement is calculated by measuring the internal distance between the two lugs of the case. It is essential to verify this dimension before purchasing a replacement strap, as an incorrect width would result in mechanical instability and irreversible aesthetic issues.
What is the best strap for the Mido Ocean Star M026.907.17.051.00?
The ideal strap depends on intended use. For elegance and durability, we recommend cognac brown alligator or calf leather with vegetable tanning. For practicality and versatility, a Cordura NATO or FKM rubber strap ensures superior performance in humid and saline environments. The choice should complement the sports-instrumental character of the watch, avoiding saturated or metallic tones.
How do I change the strap on a Mido Ocean Star M026.907.17.051.00?
Strap replacement requires two essential tools: a spring bar tool and a lateral view of the case. Position the device under the end of the spring bar, apply light and constant pressure until the bar retracts, then remove the old strap. Insert the new lug into the hole, aligning it perfectly, then reposition the spring bar until it locks. Repeat for the other end. If you are not experienced, we recommend entrusting the operation to a professional.
Can I use an aftermarket strap on a Mido Ocean Star M026.907.17.051.00?
Yes, provided the aftermarket strap is certified for 20 mm lug width. Universal 20 mm spring bars are compatible with the Mido Ocean Star. We recommend straps of proven quality in vegetable-tanned leather or technical materials (rubber, Cordura fabric) that respect construction standards. Always verify that the strap ends align perfectly with the lugs before purchase.
How long does a leather strap last on a Mido Ocean Star M026.907.17.051.00?
The longevity of a leather strap depends on the tanning method and usage. A calf leather strap with vegetable tanning, worn daily, has an average lifespan of 3-5 years before requiring replacement. Alligator, being denser and more resistant, can exceed 7-10 years. Rubber and Cordura NATO guarantee superior durability (10+ years) at the cost of reduced tactile elegance. Regular maintenance with specific balms significantly prolongs strap life.
