FAQ
What is the lug width of the Ressence Type 1 Type 1G?
The Ressence Type 1 Type 1G features a lug width of exactly 20mm, measured between the two attachment points on the case. This measurement is critical for ensuring compatibility with aftermarket straps and must be verified without mechanically forcing the case.
What is the best strap for the Ressence Type 1 Type 1G?
The material selection depends on usage: vegetable-tanned alligator amplifies tactile contrast with titanium and ages nobly; shell cordovan vitello offers chromatic depth and durability; NATO canvas maintains the brand's sporting spirit; FKM rubber democratises access without compromising design integrity. A double-press deployante is recommended in all cases.
How do I change the strap on the Ressence Type 1 Type 1G?
Changing the Type 1G strap requires minimal tools: a small spring bar tool or dedicated remover to gently lift the case lugs. The 20mm lug width permits swift operation. For damage prevention, support the case on a soft surface during removal.
Are aftermarket straps compatible with the Ressence Type 1 Type 1G?
Yes, provided they strictly observe the 20mm lug width specification. milanostraps.it offers a dedicated range of 20mm straps verified for Type 1G compatibility. Avoid improvised reductions or adaptations, which may compromise case geometry.
How long does a leather strap last on the Ressence Type 1 Type 1G?
A quality leather strap—alligator, vitello, or cordovan—worn daily will display visible wear after 3 to 5 years. With vegetable tanning, natural patina enhances aesthetic value over time. NATO and FKM rubber offer greater atmospheric resistance but inferior ageing character.
