Strap for Richard Lange Jumping Seconds Platinum / Silver

The lug width of the Richard Lange 252.025 is 20 mm. This is the specific standard for this model and must be respected precisely when ordering a replacement strap. The measurement is taken between the inner pins of the integrated lugs on the case.

For the Richard Lange 252.025 in platinum, we recommend natural alligator (blue, black, cognac), vegetable-tanned calf, or aged shell cordovan. Alligator is the most classically elegant choice; vegetable-tanned calf offers textural contrast with the case's purity; shell cordovan develops an oily patina that ages alongside the platinum.

Changing the strap on the Richard Lange 252.025 requires care. Place the watch on a soft pad, use a dedicated spring bar tool to remove the pins connecting the strap to the lugs. Insert the new strap into the pins and reposition them carefully, ensuring they are securely fastened. If unsure, consult a professional watchmaker.

Yes, provided it respects the 20 mm lug width. A quality artisanal strap from specialized luxury watch strap manufacturers is fully compatible and often offers superior quality to alternative OEM options. It is essential to verify that the strap has been constructed specifically for 20 mm lugs.

An artisanal leather strap of quality, with regular use, lasts 3-5 years before requiring replacement. Durability depends on usage, humidity, cleaning frequency, and tanning method. Vegetable tanning ages more slowly than other methods; shell cordovan resists longer. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
