FAQ
What is the lug width of the Ulysse Nardin Marine 1182-310/40?
The lug width (misura ansa) of the Ulysse Nardin Marine 1182-310/40 is 21 millimetres. This measurement represents the physical space between the two lugs of the case and is essential for the compatibility of any aftermarket strap. Always verify this specification before purchasing a replacement strap, as an incorrect width would compromise aesthetics and wearing ergonomics.
Which strap is best for the Ulysse Nardin Marine 1182-310/40?
For the Marine 1182-310/40 in rose gold, we recommend an alligator strap in mineral oil tanning, deep brown or black colour. The contrast between the characteristic grain of alligator and the rose gold case visually enhances the chronometer's presence and creates canonically correct proportional harmony. Alternatively, a calf leather strap in vegetable tanning with cognac tonality offers contemporary aesthetics and develops patina over time.
How do I change the strap on the Ulysse Nardin Marine 1182-310/40?
Strap changes require extraction of the strap bars connecting the strap to the case lugs. Obtain a strap removal tool or thin screwdriver, position it to push the bar horizontally, remove the worn strap and insert the new one by aligning the holes with the lugs. Apply uniform pressure until the bar reaches its fully seated position. If uncertain, contact an authorised Ulysse Nardin service centre.
What aftermarket strap compatibility does the Marine 1182-310/40 have?
The 1182-310/40 is compatible with any strap featuring a 21-millimetre lug width, regardless of brand, material or style. We recommend artisanal straps crafted from alligator, calf, shell cordovan, technical rubber or NATO fabric, provided they meet the exact 21mm specification. Always verify the measurement with a calliper before purchase.
How long does a leather strap last with the Marine 1182-310/40?
A leather strap's lifespan depends on tanning method, wear frequency and climate conditions. An alligator strap in mineral oil tanning of artisanal quality typically lasts 3–5 years of daily wear before requiring replacement, developing desirable patina within the first year. A calf strap in vegetable tanning, more robust, reaches 4–7 years. Exposure to heat, humidity or saltwater accelerates ageing: store the strap away from direct light when not worn.
