Elite 22.3200.670/01.C831— lug 19mm

The Zenith Elite 22.3200.670/01.C831 features a lug width of 19 mm. This dimension is specific to the Elite model and requires purpose-designed straps. To verify compatibility, measure with a digital calliper the distance between the two inner lugs: the result must be exactly 19 mm.

Alligator is the optimal choice, as its natural grain reflects the austere proportions of the case and harmonises with rose gold's warmth. An alligator strap in cognac brown or deep black enhances without competing with the dial. A sophisticated alternative is vegetable-tanned calf leather, which develops authentic patina over time.

Remove the strap using a springbar tool: insert the fine blade into the gap between lug and strap, gently move inward to release the spring plunger. Once freed, extract the old strap. Position the new strap by aligning the passant with the lug hole, press firmly until the spring clicks. Repeat on the opposite side.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 19 mm. Avoid 18 mm or 20 mm straps as they cause instability. Bespoke artisanal straps crafted to specification guarantee perfect fit, superior finish, and certified durability, unlike standardised alternatives.

A premium leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf) has an average lifespan of 4 to 6 years under normal wearing conditions. Shell cordovan resists wear beyond 7 years due to material density. Longevity depends on frequency of wear, ambient humidity, and maintenance. Periodic cleaning with a damp cloth significantly extends service life.
