FAQ
What is the lug width of the Nomos Glashütte Autobahn 1303?
The Autobahn 1303 features a lug width of 20mm. This specific measurement is determined by the geometry of the riveted lugs on the stainless steel case and is the fundamental parameter for ensuring compatibility with aftermarket straps. Correct measurement is performed by measuring the distance between the cross pins that attach the strap to the case.
Which strap is most suitable for the Nomos Autobahn 1303?
For the Autobahn 1303, we recommend a strap in alligator with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan, as these materials aesthetically resonate with the minimalist design and satin steel case. If you prefer sports versatility, a NATO fabric strap in neutral tones (grey, black, beige) offers excellent balance between functionality and elegance. For professional environments, calf leather with fine pores and natural patina is the ideal choice.
How do you change the strap on the Nomos Autobahn 1303?
The Autobahn 1303 strap is secured by small riveted pins. For safe replacement, we recommend contacting a specialised watchmaker or Atelier Casati Milano. The procedure requires specific tools (pin extraction tool) and precise manual skill to avoid damaging the delicate case lugs.
Is there an aftermarket strap compatible with the 1303?
Yes, within the milanostraps.it collection, 20mm straps are available in multiple material and finish variants, all compatible with the Autobahn 1303. The selection includes calf leather, alligator, shell cordovan, fabric NATO and FKM rubber. Each strap can be customised and ordered online, with rapid shipping.
How long does a leather strap last on the Nomos Autobahn 1303?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on intensity of use, climate and specific material. A calf leather strap with vegetable tanning or alligator can last 5-8 years with moderate daily use and regular maintenance (gentle cleaning, annual conditioning). Shell cordovan, thanks to fibre density, reaches 10+ years or more. It is advisable to plan earlier replacement if signs of wear appear at the lugs or material degradation is noted.
