Why choose canvas with a leather lining

The canvas top gives the Fifty Fathoms a vintage, military dive-watch look, and the leather underside is softer against the skin than an all-canvas strap. It sits between rubber, which can feel too sporty, and plain leather, which can feel too formal on a dive watch. It works well for the office, weekends and travel. Keep it for dry days: leather-lined straps do not like repeated soaking. For swimming, choose our 23mm FKM rubber strap for Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.

How to fit it

1. Lay the watch face down on a soft cloth so the case and crystal are protected.
2. Use a spring bar tool to compress the spring bar at each lug and remove the current strap.
3. Seat a spring bar in each end of the new strap, place one tip in the lug hole, compress the other tip and let it click into place.
4. Pull gently on both sides to check it is locked in. Never open the case back: the strap attaches only at the lugs.
