FAQ

What is the lug width of the Montblanc Tradition 112610?

The Montblanc Tradition 112610 features a lug width (ansa measurement) of 20mm. This dimension represents the distance between the two lateral attachment points of the case and is essential for selecting a compatible strap. An incorrect measurement could result in unwanted lateral gaps or prevent the strap from fitting properly. All our 20mm straps are perfectly compatible with this model.

Which strap is most recommended for the Montblanc Tradition 112610?

The choice depends on your use case and personal preferences. For formal occasions, an alligator strap in vegetable-tanned leather in dark brown or bourbon tones offers maximum elegance and longevity. For daily versatility, a vegetable-tanned calf strap in brown or cognac ensures practicality with a natural patina that evolves over time. A NATO or rubber strap is ideal if you desire quick-swap convenience without aesthetic compromise. Shell cordovan represents the collector's choice due to its rarity and natural lustre.

How do I change the strap on my Montblanc Tradition 112610?

Changing the strap is a straightforward operation requiring a dedicated spring bar remover tool. Locate the lateral attachment pins: the tool allows you to compress the internal spring of the pin, enabling its removal. Once the old strap is removed, align the new strap's holes with the case attachments and click the pins into position. If uncertain, Atelier Casati Milano offers personalised guidance and professional assistance.

Is a 20mm aftermarket strap compatible with the Montblanc Tradition 112610?

Yes, any aftermarket strap with a 20mm lug width is technically compatible with the Tradition 112610. However, we recommend verifying the construction quality and materials used. Milano Straps' artisanal selections are specifically chosen for aesthetic proportionality and durability, ensuring your final result represents an elevation of your watch rather than a compromise.

How long does a leather strap last on the Montblanc Tradition 112610?

Leather strap durability depends on usage, climate, and maintenance. An alligator or shell cordovan strap in vegetable tanning, subjected to moderate daily use with proper care (occasional drying and conditioning), can last 3-7 years before aesthetic replacement becomes desirable. A vegetable-tanned calf strap, being softer, typically lasts 2-4 years. Patina and micro-scratches are natural characteristics that increase its appeal, not defects.
