FAQ
What is the lug width of the Nomos Glashütte Club 708?
The lug width of the Nomos Glashütte Club 708 is 18 millimetres. This measurement is the distance between the inner edges of the top and bottom lugs, and it is essential for correct aftermarket strap compatibility. The acceptable tolerance is ±0.5 millimetres.
What type of strap is best suited for the Nomos Club 708?
The Nomos Club 708, given its rigorous Bauhaus aesthetic and 36-millimetre diameter, pairs ideally with straps in vegetable-tanned alligator leather or full-grain calf leather, also vegetable-tanned. These materials develop authentic patina over time and maintain the watch's compositional integrity. For more casual use, organic linen NATOs or stainless steel deployante clasps are equally excellent choices.
How do you replace the strap on a Nomos Glashütte Club?
To replace the strap on the Nomos Club 708, use a spring bar tool approximately 1.5 millimetres in diameter. Position the watch on a soft surface. Insert the flat tip of the tool into the lug hole, pushing gently downward until the internal spring is released. Withdraw the strap and insert the new one, ensuring the spring repositions correctly at both ends of the bar.
Can an aftermarket strap be used on a Nomos Glashütte Club 708?
Yes, it is entirely possible. The Club 708 accepts any strap with an 18-millimetre lug width. Artisanal-quality straps, crafted with vegetable tanning and without synthetic stitching, often offer superior aesthetic value compared to original Nomos straps. Ensure you purchase from specialist suppliers who guarantee correct dimensional tolerances.
How long does a quality leather strap last on a Nomos Club 708?
A vegetable-tanned artisanal leather strap can last 4-7 years in daily use, provided regular maintenance. Factors such as ambient humidity, frequency of wear, and exposure to perspiration significantly affect longevity. Alligator or shell cordovan straps tend to last longer (7-10+ years), whilst synthetic materials such as FKM rubber have shorter wear cycles (2-4 years).
