FAQ
What is the exact lug width of the Ulysse Nardin Marine 1193?
The Ulysse Nardin Marine 1193 features a lug width of 21 millimetres. This measurement is critical for aftermarket strap compatibility and should be verified by measuring the distance between the two spring bars where the strap connects to the case.
Which type of strap is most suitable for the Marine 1193?
Several options are recommended depending on use case: vegetable-tanned calf leather for daily elegance with natural patina development, alligator for moisture resistance and formal appearance, and vulcanised rubber for predominantly aquatic or marine use. Cordura NATO straps offer practicality and aesthetic versatility.
How do you change the strap on a Ulysse Nardin Marine 1193?
Strap change involves removing the two lateral spring bars that connect the case to the strap. A spring bar tool is required to press the retraction mechanism and extract each pin. A 21mm strap will insert smoothly into the corresponding lug spaces.
Are aftermarket straps compatible with the Marine 1193?
Yes, any strap with a 21mm lug width is compatible with the Marine 1193. It is essential to verify the exact width specification with the strap manufacturer and ensure the spring bars are appropriately sized for secure fit.
How long does a leather strap last on a Marine 1193 in frequent marine use?
The longevity of a vegetable-tanned calf or alligator strap depends on humidity and saltwater exposure. In intensive marine use (frequent immersions, saltwater contact), durability reduces to 2-3 years. A vulcanised rubber strap or NATO band offers superior longevity in these scenarios, potentially 5-10 years with proper maintenance.
