Strap for Saxonia Big Date Platinum / Silver

The lug width of the Saxonia 105.025 is 18 millimetres. This dimension stems from the proportional balance between the case diameter (33.90 mm) and the overall aesthetic architecture. To verify it, position a digital calliper between the internal lug pins: the value must correspond exactly to 18 mm.

The alligator strap represents the most coherent choice from both aesthetic and functional perspectives. The regular texture and fine grain reflect the geometric sobriety of the Saxonia, whilst the platinum case naturally complements the moderate lustre of the leather. A valid alternative is vegetable-tanned calf, which develops a natural patina over time and offers organic warmth.

The strap is changed by removing the spring bars that connect the lugs to the case. Use a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) to compress the internal pin, inserting the new strap into the freed space. Ensure the pin is completely locked on both sides before wearing the watch. If you are not experienced, entrust the work to a professional.

Yes, the Saxonia 105.025 is fully compatible with aftermarket straps featuring an 18 mm lug width. MilanoStraps offers a complete collection of bespoke straps crafted for this width, including alligator, calf, shell cordovan and vegan rubber. Choose materials of certified quality to ensure aesthetics and durability commensurate with the watch's value.

Durability depends on the material, tanning method, and intensity of use. High-quality alligator or calf (such as vegetable-tanned variants) withstands 4–6 years with moderate use and regular maintenance. Sun exposure and humidity accelerate ageing. Casati Milano provides an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects and recommends having the strap restored every 4–5 years.
