Club 712— lug 18mm

The lug width of the Club 712 is 18mm. This measurement corresponds to the spring bar holes on the case and determines strap compatibility. Always ensure that your strap, when inserted into the lug, does not exceed 3-4mm total thickness in the folded state.

For the Club 712, we recommend vegetable-tanned alligator (its distinctive grain texture enhances the Bauhaus minimalism), Hermès or Tuscan calf leather (for formal occasions), cotton NATO in navy blue (casual versatility), and brushed FKM rubber (for summer wear). Your choice depends on daily usage and dress code context.

The strap is removed by sliding it out of the lateral lug holes (the two openings on the case shoulders, one on each side). No case opening is necessary. Insert the new strap through the upper lug first, then the lower one, ensuring it sits centred. The process takes seconds and requires no tools.

Yes, any quality 18mm strap is compatible with the Club 712. Milano Straps specialises in handcrafted straps in leather, textile, and rubber specifically tested for this lug width. Always verify the width before purchase and consider thickness for optimal fit in the lugs.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, if properly maintained, lasts 3-5 years of daily wear. Alligator and shell cordovan are more durable (5-7 years). Longevity depends on exposure to moisture, perspiration, and cleaning frequency. An initial water-repellent treatment significantly extends strap lifespan.
