Aqua Terra 2005.75.00— lug 20mm

The Omega Aqua Terra 2005.75.00 features a lug width of 20mm. To verify this correctly, remove the original strap or bracelet and measure with a caliper the distance between the outer base of the two vertical pins that pass through the case. Do not confuse this measurement with the inner width of the finished bracelet, which may vary depending on construction.

For this precious case, we recommend vegetable-tanned alligator for a formal result that enhances the gold. Alternatively, shell cordovan offers exceptional durability and a fascinating patina, while natural calf ensures a sporty-elegant balance. For intense maritime use, technical fabric NATO straps remain unbeatable from a functional standpoint.

The Omega Aqua Terra 2005.75.00 features screw lugs for strap attachment. Use a specific tool (spring bar remover) to access the internal threading without damaging the case. Slowly turn the screw counterclockwise until the pin unlocks, then remove the old strap and insert the new one. If you are not experienced, consult a professional watchmaker.

Yes, any 20mm strap (even from different brands) fits the lug width of the Omega Aqua Terra 2005.75.00. Only verify that the leather is of quality appropriate to the value of the timepiece and that the manufacturer has experience with screw lugs. Milano Straps offers straps tested and certified for this specificity.

A premium quality leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan, natural calf) lasts an average of 3-5 years with daily use, up to 8-10 years with regular rotation with other straps. Lifespan depends on sun exposure, humidity, and cleaning frequency. Vegetable tanning tends to age more gracefully than industrial tanning, developing a fascinating patina.
