    Samoa is American Samoa so the time zone is accurate.

    Lug sizes...Mark XVII. 20mm
    Chrono. 21mm
    Double Chron 21 mm
    BP. 22mm

    So old pilot chrono strap will fit new Spitfire Double Chron.

    World timer has no hidden pusher. Everything works off of the crown.

    There is no intention to expand use of Santoni straps.

    More pictures to follow later today.

    Chrono. 21mm

    Sounds good. I'll probably go for the new bracelet on a recent watch.
    Thanks for checking, Alan.

    So no way to marry a Santoni strap with the new Spitfire Chrono Ardoise?

    Have such a gorgeous patina light brown strap that would look awesome, as I am changing my Regulateur to a grey-black Santoni strap... Bugger

    The lug size of the Worldtimer is 22mm, very fitting for a 45mm watch. It is my favourite watch by far right now, cannot understand I once didn't like it. Do you have plans for replacing the strap? I like the sturdy croc strap that comes standard with it, and the wonderful deployant clasp. What is there not to like here?

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    Looks great on your wrist sunflower.
    My question was because I thought, maybe I can put some of my straps of my 3717 on this watch. (like the buffalo from the st exupery). But those straps are 21mm. The croc looks indeed better on this watch than on the 3717. Going to the AD soon to check it out :)
