I believe that many friends who have just entered the pit bezel have struggled to choose belts and metal straps! The first cousin who chooses a belt is probably the “first” should be cautious. After all, leather watches of different materials have different aura, but on the whole, they are more elegant, with structured formal clothes in and out of the mall, full of ability.
In addition, sports, business, retro and other styles, leather straps can also be easily controlled. On the other hand, the leather strap is soft and delicate, fits the curve of the wrist tightly, and the comfort is unquestionable.
I don’t need to say more about the steel belt, hard and durable, and cool are its main characteristics. Although the steel belt is easy to maintain, it is full of heaviness and is not very friendly to people with small wrists.
I want to have the softness and comfort of a belt, and it must be as hard and resistant as a steel belt, and after collecting the strengths of each family, a kind of strap that I want to introduce to you today was born——
Milan belt
。
Milan straps have been particularly popular in recent years, and many watch brands have begun to integrate Milan straps into style collections, especially Swiss big-name watches have played with the use and design of Milanese woven straps~
The Milanese strap, also known as the Milanese strap (milanese), also known as the Mesh strap, appeared in the 60s of the last century and was once regarded as a “luxury” strap.
It is a metal bracelet that uses a mesh weave-like shape and is mainly made of polished stainless steel. Usually it is attached directly to the case, and the clasp is also integrated. Compared with leather straps, the manufacture of Milanese woven straps is much more complicated, usually such a strap will be made of several tiny and interconnected metal chains, polished and polished as a whole, while also taking into account the burrs in the corners and the density of mesh and other details, so it is very careful about the brand’s craftsmanship, which also makes the Milanese belt very expensive in the last century with limited technology.
In recent years, the Milanese strap has returned to people’s attention, and this is the credit of the “topic king” Apple. The emergence of the Milan strap Applewatch has made more people pay attention to this style of strap, and the Milanese strap Applewatch is also a little more expensive than other straps of the same type, which also reflects its attractiveness from the side.
Mechanical watches also love Milan belts
In the field of professional watchmaking, to some extent, it is precisely the Seamaster series Ploprof watch released by Omega a few years ago that has ushered in a renaissance in Milanese straps. Universal’s Portofino, Breitling’s Superocean, and the Zenith pilot El Primero series followed suit.
Breitling BREITLING Super Ocean Culture AB2010161C1A1 Mechanical Men’s Watch
Price ¥ 29,300
The prototype of the male protagonist in the recently popular “Captain China” movie, the heroic captain Liu Chuanjian, is wearing Breitling’s “Superocean” series, but Captain Liu’s has been discontinued for a long time.
Breitling is a brand that loves Milanese belts very much, and Breitling released its first “Super Ocean” in 1957 with Milanese belts.
And this watch as a tribute to the iconic 1957 model, Super Ocean Culture II B20 automatic mechanical watch 42. Reliable and uniquely designed, it features a high-tech ceramic bezel and a stainless steel Milanese bracelet. Underneath the stainless-steel case is a movement certified by the official Swiss chronometer, with water resistance of up to 200 meters, making it a watch that carries Breitling’s mission.
Certina DSPH200M series mechanical men’s watches
Certina’s DS PH200M series has occupied a hot search in the bezel for a long time, and the PH200M with Milan belt is the most popular one.
Milan belts are more waterproof and stronger than belts, and they are not as easy to sweat in summer. With 200-meter water resistance and Certina’s unique DS double safety technology, it must be the dream of many watch fans to wear this watch and swim underwater in the water.
Divos DAVOSA Argor series mechanical men’s watches
At first glance, does it feel similar to Omega’s seahorse! The shape of the Omega Seahorse and the new Seahorse Water Ripple Dial show the domineering spirit like a vast ocean between square inches.
Bohr-style self-luminous tritium lamp luminous scale, paired with Breitling’s same thickened Milan belt, is more breathable and lightweight than ordinary steel belts. This series of watches is equipped with a manual helium drain valve more than Certina’s DS PH200M, because when working in the deep sea, helium in the compressed air easily penetrates into the case, so that the pressure in the case is equal to the external high pressure.
When the diver floats, the pressure will also decrease, but the helium molecular pressure in the case does not decrease, and it needs to be immediately drained to prevent the watch from bursting due to the pressure difference. The manual helium drain valve is set to effectively ensure the safety of the watch.
Scratch the point! Divos is also 300 meters water resistant! Gather the strengths of hundreds of families, see your own style!
Nowadays, the meaning of wearing a watch is not only limited to reading time, but more about the display of one’s own style, as well as the aesthetic requirements of the watch and the comfort of wearing. When you choose a watch you love, but you want to avoid the embarrassment of colliding with others, or even want to highlight the difference of the watch, then be bold and try a Milanese wristband!
If you don’t have a big budget, you can buy a Divos Agormilan watch to play with a new style, a new look for your wrist, and enjoy the pleasure of having a new standard, why not?
