Strap for Cabaret Moonphase Pink Gold / Silver

The lug width of the A. Lange & Söhne Cabaret 118.032 is 19 mm. This is an uncommon measurement compared to the standard 20 mm found on most contemporary watches. Verification must be performed manually by measuring the exact distance between the lug seats on the case, ensuring accurate selection of aftermarket straps.

Black alligator represents the ideal choice to emphasise the dresswear character of this model. The natural texture of the reptilian epidermis dialogues perfectly with the lacquered dial. Alternatively, Italian calf leather in vegetable tanning or noble shell cordovan offer suppleness and evolving patina over time, maintaining aesthetic coherence with the rose gold case.

Strap removal requires a specialised tool (spring bar tool) to extract the metal pin securing the strap to the lugs. Position the watch on a soft surface, insert the tool into the pin slot, and lift gently. Proceed methodically to avoid case scratches. If inexperienced, engage a professional watchmaker or seek direct guidance from an authorised dealer.

Yes. Due to the 19 mm lug width specification, selection must target straps dimensioned specifically for this width. Milanostraps.it offers a dedicated collection of handcrafted 19 mm straps in alligator, calf, shell cordovan and other noble materials. For optimal results, the bespoke service offered by Casati Milano delivers custom-made straps at their Milan atelier.

Longevity depends on leather quality, frequency of wear and maintenance discipline. A premium alligator or shell cordovan strap typically endures 5–8 years with regular rotation (intermittent wear). Softer calf leather straps require heightened attention to humidity and typically achieve 3–5 years of service. Casati Milano guarantees 18 months against manufacturing defects, independent of natural wear.
