Strap for Saxonia Thin White Gold / Silver

The lug width of the Saxonia 201.027 is exactly 20 millimetres, measured as the distance between the two lugs protruding from the case. This measurement is constant across all examples of reference 201.027 and can be easily verified using a digital calliper or by observing compatible straps already in your possession. The 20 millimetre dimension remains invariable regardless of the wearer's wrist size.

Alligator leather in dark brown (mahogany) tones is the most recommended choice for the Saxonia 201.027: the geometric texture of the scales echoes the rigorous construction of the timepiece, whilst the colour creates noble contrast with the white gold case. An elegant alternative is vegetable-tanned calf leather, which develops natural patina over time. Avoid straps exceeding 4–5 millimetres thickness at the keeper to prevent visual over-proportioning of the overall assembly.

The Saxonia 201.027 features standard removable spring bars. Position the watch on a protected surface, use a spring bar tool to gently compress the internal pin and extract it laterally. Never use screwdrivers or sharp objects that could scratch the white gold case. Remove the worn strap, align the new strap ends with the pin holes, and re-secure the pins using the same tool, verifying they are firmly locked in place.

Yes, any 20mm strap with standard removable spring bars is compatible with the Saxonia 201.027, since lug width is universal within this category. However, it is advisable to select brands specialising in haute horlogerie that respect consistent construction standards: contained thickness (no more than 5 millimetres), stainless steel certified pins, finishes without imperfections. MilanoStraps guarantees this quality across compatible straps in our collection.

A high-quality natural leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, depending on intensity of use, wrist perspiration and periodic care. Leather fears excess moisture and forced desiccation. We recommend occasionally lubricating the strap with neutral wax, avoiding water immersion, and alternating with reserve straps during summer months. With proper maintenance, some owners achieve 7 years of service from the same strap.
