Montblanc
Timewalker 105962— lug 20mm

The lug width of the Montblanc Timewalker 105962 is 20 millimetres. This dimension is specific to the model and must be verified with precision when purchasing an aftermarket strap, using a calliper or ruler to measure the space between the case lugs.

Black or dark brown alligator with vegetable tanning represents the ideal choice for the Timewalker 105962, as it respects the case's aesthetic and formal balance. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers softness and elegant ageing, whilst a heavyweight NATO fabric strap provides versatility whilst maintaining formal character.

To change the strap, remove the lug pins (also called springbars) using a dedicated tool or a small hammer and punch. Once the pins are extracted, the old strap comes free easily. Insert the pins into the new strap by aligning the holes precisely and pushing until you hear or feel a positioning click.

High-quality handcrafted leather straps, such as alligator or shell cordovan, offer maximum compatibility and longevity. Always verify that the strap is constructed specifically for 20mm lugs and features a solid internal architecture to withstand the lug pins without deformation.

A high-quality leather strap with vegetable tanning and handcrafted construction typically lasts between 5 and 10 years under normal daily wear conditions. Longevity depends on humidity exposure, frequency of use and maintenance. Rubber or NATO straps have more predictable durability, generally between 3 and 5 years before visible wear occurs.
