Strap for Saxonia

The lug width of the Saxonia 216.026 is 19 mm. This measurement is compatible with the 37 mm case and ensures correct visual proportions. To verify strap compatibility, measure the interior of the lug with a ruler positioned perpendicular to the case.

For a white gold Saxonia, alligator represents the natural choice, particularly in chocolate brown or black tones. Shell cordovan is ideal for those who appreciate an evolved patina over time. Minimalist calf leather and technical NATO straps offer contemporary alternatives without compromising overall elegance.

Changing the strap on a Saxonia 216.026 requires a specific tool (spring bar tool) and care. Position the watch on a soft surface (mouse pad), insert the tool into the lug hole, press gently to compress the internal spring, and slide out the old strap. Install the new strap by reversing the procedure. For vintage models, we recommend having this operation performed by a specialised watchmaker.

Any strap with a 19 mm lug width is compatible with the Saxonia 216.026. Milanostraps.it offers a selection of artisanal straps in alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan, and rubber, all certified for this specific measurement. For guaranteed compatibility and complete customisation, we recommend the Casati Milano atelier.

A quality leather strap, subjected to correct maintenance (avoiding excessive sweat and humidity), guarantees a lifespan of 3-5 years. Shell cordovan, thanks to its natural density, can exceed 7 years whilst developing a prized patina. Calf and alligator require periodic rotation between different straps to extend longevity. Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
