Strap for 1815 40 Pink Gold / Silver

The lug width of the 233.032 is 20 millimetres. Measurement is taken by positioning a digital calliper between the two metal pins (spring bars) protruding from the case. This dimension is specific to this model and results from Lange's proportional design philosophy.

For the 233.032 we recommend dark brown alligator, Tuscan leather with vegetable tanning, or cognac shell cordovan. Alligator offers fine grain and visual lightness; vegetable-tanned leather develops patina over time; shell cordovan creates subtle contrast. All require a deployant clasp in rose gold for aesthetic coherence.

The strap is changed by removing the two spring bars connecting the lugs to the case. Use a spring bar tool to apply gentle pressure on the bar mechanism, extracting them horizontally. Position the new strap and reinsert the bars until you feel the catch. Avoid hammers or improvised tools that would damage the rose gold.

Yes, provided the lug width is precisely 20 millimetres and the material and aesthetic quality match the watch's value. High-quality artisanal alligator, calf leather or shell cordovan does not betray the 233.032. We advise against synthetic or mediocre-quality straps that would compromise the elegance of the case.

A natural leather strap of good quality, correctly maintained, lasts between 3 and 5 years with daily use. Shell cordovan may last longer due to fibre density. The patina that develops is desirable. Avoid direct intense sunlight, prolonged moisture and excessive twisting. Periodic maintenance (light conditioning) extends service life.
