Strap for Lange 1 Timezone Pink Gold / Silver

The A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 136.032 features a lug width of 22mm. This measurement represents the internal distance between the two case lugs where the strap attaches. To verify it accurately, measure with a calliper the distance between the lugs, excluding the terminal thickness. Respecting this precise measurement is essential to maintain the aesthetic proportions of the case and ensure a perfect fit on the wrist.

Alligator is the natural choice for the 136.032 in rose gold. Its ordered texture and uniform grain create visual continuity with the Glashütte finishing of the case. Alternatively, shell cordovan offers an elegant option with a patina that evolves over time, ideal for those desiring a strap that ages beautifully. Vegetable-tanned calf leather is also excellent for a more intimate and personalised experience, as it softens and adapts to the wrist with use.

Changing the strap on the 136.032 requires specific tools (spring bar removal tool or lug width tool). Position the watch in a support block, locate the small locking spring inside the lug and release it carefully with the appropriate tool. Once the old strap is removed, insert the new strap and reposition the lug. If unsure of the procedure, consult a professional watchmaker to avoid damaging the case.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible with the 136.032. However, given the constructive quality and refined aesthetics of this timepiece, we recommend opting for artisanal straps made with noble materials such as alligator, shell cordovan or superior quality calf leather. A substandard strap compromises the user experience and the constructive philosophy of A. Lange & Söhne. Milano Straps offers bespoke 22mm straps handcrafted at the Casati Milano atelier, according to your aesthetic specifications.

Durability depends on leather quality and intensity of use. A high-quality artisanal alligator or shell cordovan strap typically lasts 5-7 years with daily wear, developing characteristic patina over time. A vegetable-tanned calf leather strap generally lasts 4-6 years before requiring replacement, as the leather gradually softens and thins. Factors affecting longevity include moisture exposure, frequency of use and maintenance level. Casati Milano provides every strap with an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
