Strap for Lange 1 Floral

The lug width (strap width) of the 112.046 is exactly 20 millimetres. This means that the leather strap must have a lug passage measuring 20 mm to fit correctly onto the case lugs. Always verify this measurement before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure compatibility.

The ideal choice is a high-quality Swiss or French alligator strap in dark brown or burgundy tones. Alligator respects the sophistication of the rose gold case through its fine grain and warm colour that harmonises rather than competes with the metal. Alternatively, shell cordovan with vegetable tanning develops a natural patina that ages beautifully alongside the rose gold, creating an authentic chromatic dialogue over time.

Strap changing requires a spring bar tool to gently release the elastic pins holding the old strap. Do not use hammers or improvised tools: the rose gold case is precious and the pins are delicate. If you lack experience, consult an authorised service centre or contact Casati Milano directly, who can complete the change in minutes and verify the lug passage of the new strap.

Yes, absolutely. A high-quality artisanal strap (alligator, shell cordovan, or premium calf leather) respects the value of the timepiece and offers aesthetic options that the manufacture rarely provides. Ensure the strap is crafted for 20 mm lugs and that the construction is fully hand-made: hand-stitching, clean finishing, and noble materials. Casati Milano produces bespoke straps custom-made for the 112.046.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan, premium calf) typically lasts 3–5 years with moderate daily wear. Longevity depends on sun exposure, humidity, and frequency of use. Shell cordovan is more durable thanks to vegetable tanning and can last 7–8 years. Casati Milano guarantees 18 months against manufacturing defects and offers reconditioning and replacement services.
