Performance
Every Milano strap is engineered to perform under real conditions. Before approval, each material and component is tested through a strict multi stage process that evaluates structure, durability, flexibility, and long term reliability.
Flexing Test
We begin with continuous bending and flex testing under controlled pressure. This process evaluates the internal structure of the strap, edge stability, and long term flexibility. The leather must retain its shape, strength, and comfort after repeated movement that simulates years of daily wear.
Surface Abrasion
Next, every strap is subjected to surface abrasion and material contact testing. This confirms resistance to friction, rubbing, and impact against common surfaces such as metal, denim, and plastic. The leather finish must remain stable and the structure must not weaken under constant contact.
Skin Simulation
To replicate real wrist conditions, we perform simulated skin and perspiration testing. Each strap is mounted on a watch and exposed to moisture, heat, and synthetic perspiration. This ensures color stability, comfort, and resistance to breakdown caused by sweat and daily exposure.
Humidity Resistance
We then conduct extended humidity and rain resistance testing inside a controlled climate chamber. Straps are exposed to moisture, condensation, and prolonged damp conditions to verify that the leather, stitching, glue, and reinforcement layers maintain their integrity.
Hardware Testing
Finally, all buckles and spring bars undergo extended immersion testing in water combined with a specially formulated aging solution. This process confirms corrosion resistance, finish durability, and long term mechanical reliability.
Only straps that pass every stage are approved for production.
