FAQ

What is the exact lug width of the SevenFriday M-Series M1/02-UAEE?

The lug width of the SevenFriday M1/02-UAEE is 28mm. This width accommodates robust and characterful straps, perfectly suited to the audacious 47mm case design. To verify compatibility, measure the distance between the two lugs with a digital calliper at the narrowest point of attachment.

Which strap is most suitable for the SevenFriday M1/02-UAEE?

The SevenFriday M-Series M1/02-UAEE pairs exceptionally well with deep-grained alligator straps, vegetable-tanned calf leather, robust NATO straps, and high-quality rubber. Your choice depends on personal style: dark brown alligator creates industrial elegance, cognac calf emphasises patina over time, navy NATO adds dynamism, rubber offers sporting practicality.

How do you change the strap on a SevenFriday M1/02-UAEE?

To change the strap, use a spring bar remover tool to gently push the underlying spring of each lug. Remove the spring completely from the hole, extract the old strap and insert the new one by aligning the strap holes with the pins. Reinsert the spring, ensuring it is locked in both holes. Never force: movement should be fluid.

Is the SevenFriday M1/02-UAEE compatible with 28mm aftermarket straps?

Yes, the M1/02-UAEE is fully compatible with quality 28mm aftermarket straps. Milano Straps offers a specific collection of leather, NATO and rubber straps tailored to this lug width, pre-tested to guarantee precise insertion and optimal security during daily wear.

How long does a leather strap last on a SevenFriday M1/02-UAEE?

The longevity of a leather strap depends on material and usage: a quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap lasts 3 to 5 years with regular maintenance, whilst calf leather may last 2-3 years. Exposure to moisture, perspiration and sunlight accelerates ageing. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and application of a natural protector significantly extends useful life.
