Strap for RIchard Lange Minute Repeater Platinum / Enamel

The lug width of the Richard Lange 606.079 is 20mm. This is a standard sizing for mid-to-high-class timepieces with a 39mm case, requiring specifically dimensioned straps to ensure precise wrist fit without lateral play.

We recommend alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather, which respect the sober Saxon aesthetic. Alligator offers natural texture and patina development; calf ensures immediate suppleness. For daily wear, vulcanised rubber or NATO in neutral tones are equally valid choices without compromising elegance.

Remove the watch from your wrist. Use a flat tool (spring bar tool) to gently push the retention pin on each lug whilst simultaneously lifting the strap. After removing the old strap, insert the new one by aligning the pin and pressing until you hear a click.

Yes. High-quality aftermarket straps (crafted from full-grain leather with vegetable tanning) are compatible if dimensioned at 20mm lug width. We advise against synthetic materials or generic straps that do not respect the horological standard of the timepiece.

A quality leather strap with vegetable tanning and artisanal craftsmanship lasts 3-5 years with moderate use. Longevity depends on frequency of wear, exposure to moisture, perspiration and periodic care. Our warranty covers 18 months against manufacturing defects.
