Strap for Saxonia Big Date Yellow Gold / Silver

The lug width of the A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia 105.022 is 18 mm. This dimension is standard for dress watches with a compact case (33.90 mm diameter) and ensures harmonious proportions between strap and dial. To verify compatibility, measure the net distance between the two case lugs using a digital calliper, excluding the width of the lugs themselves.

The most coherent strap for the Saxonia 105.022 is alligator leather in black or dark brown, which dialogues naturally with the case's dress elegance without competing visually. Alternatively, calf leather with vegetable tanning offers immediate tactile softness and a patina that ages nobly on the wrist. Shell cordovan guarantees superior constructive rigidity and intrinsic lustre, whilst silk NATO straps represent a versatile solution for rapid changes across occasions.

The A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia 105.022 is equipped with integrated lugs, meaning the strap cannot be removed via standard spring bars. Strap replacement requires professional assistance from a skilled watchmaker or authorised service centre. This deliberate design choice reduces spaces where dust and moisture could accumulate, ensuring case longevity. Casati Milano offers strap-change services by appointment at the Milan atelier.

Yes, thanks to the standard 18 mm lug width, the A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia 105.022 is fully compatible with artisanal aftermarket straps of the same width. However, because the case features integrated, non-removable lugs, professional watchmaker assistance is necessary for installation. MilanoStraps offers a curated selection of 18 mm straps in alligator, calf, shell cordovan and natural rubber, with the option to commission a bespoke strap through the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a natural leather strap depends on constructive quality, tanning type, and frequency of wear. On an A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia 105.022 worn daily, a quality alligator or calf strap guarantees 3-5 years of use before the leather shows structural wear. With vegetable tanning, leather develops a fascinating patina as it ages. Shell cordovan, thanks to superior density, can last 5-7 years. Casati Milano straps include an 18-month warranty on manufacturing defects, providing peace of mind in your investment.
