Strap for Cabaret Rose Gold / Black

The lug width of the A. Lange & Söhne Cabaret 157.131 is 19.00 mm. This width is specific to this model and represents the ideal aesthetic compromise between the compact case diameter (36.30 mm) and overall proportions. To verify compatibility, measure the inner distance between the two lug holes, perpendicular to the dial.

For the Cabaret 157.131, we recommend either fine-grain alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather. Alligator creates a natural aesthetic symbiosis with rose gold, amplifying the perception of refinement. Calf leather offers superior longevity and develops a fascinating evolving patina. Avoid cheap synthetic rubber straps that do not age with dignity.

The strap is changed using a spring bar removal tool to gently push the pins that secure the strap to the case lugs. Position the watch horizontally, insert the tool into the small lateral hole of the lug, apply gentle pressure and the pin should disengage. Repeat for both sides. If you lack experience, consult a professional watchmaker to prevent damage.

Yes, any strap with a 19 mm lug width is mechanically compatible with the 157.131. However, the choice of material and colour tone must respect the aesthetic identity of the model. We recommend alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, shell cordovan, or silk NATO. Avoid straps thicker than 4.5 mm, which may create undesirable tension on the lugs.

A quality leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, shell cordovan) lasts approximately 3–5 years with daily wear, depending on frequency of use, climate conditions, and maintenance level. A vegetable-tanned strap ages positively and may last beyond 5 years if properly maintained (avoid excessive moisture, clean with a dry cloth). Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
