The Maserati Velocità Slim takes a 24 mm strap: measure between the lugs and that is the only number you need. We list 18 straps in that width. A dress watch by proportion: a slim leather strap, plain or lightly stitched, keeps the line clean. With a 40 mm case and 100 m of water resistance, a strap of medium thickness keeps the balance.
