Zenith
Pilot 22.1930.681/31.C725— lug 20mm

The Zenith Pilot 22.1930.681/31.C725 is equipped with a lug width of 20mm. This dimension is standard for the model and requires a specific 20mm strap to ensure correct fit to the spring bars without lateral play or excessive tension on the retention systems.

For a Zenith Pilot in rose gold, dark brown alligator (Havana) is the most coherent aesthetic choice thanks to its vertical grain that elegantly complements the reflection of the satin gold. Alternatively, a cognac vegetable calf offers a patina that evolves over time, or a navy NATO for those preferring a more marked retro sporty aesthetic.

The strap is replaced using the spring bars, small spring pins positioned at the ends of the lugs. Using a spring bar tool, you compress the spring bracket inward to release the pins, then remove the old strap and insert a new one. The procedure requires precision to avoid damaging the spring bars, especially on a precious rose gold case.

Yes, any strap structured for 20mm lugs is compatible. Milano Straps offers a wide selection of customizable straps (alligator, calf, NATO, rubber) in varying sizes and colors, shipped quickly and with warranty. The Casati Milano atelier also allows bespoke creation by appointment with personal leather selection.

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable calf) has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with regular daily use. Longevity depends on factors such as ambient humidity, frequency of replacement, periodic maintenance, and type of processing. Milano Straps straps, made with premium leather and natural tannins, are guaranteed for 18 months and develop a noble patina over time, extending the perceived aesthetics even beyond functional replacement.
