Strap for Saxonia Dual Time Pink Gold

The lug width of the Saxonia 386.032 is 20 mm. This parameter is critical for maintaining correct visual proportions of the case. Always measure perpendicularly from lug to lug, excluding any external protection, using a digital calliper for accuracy.

Alligator represents the most coherent choice with the model's minimalist aesthetic. A dark brown or bordeaux alligator strap creates visual continuity with the rose gold case. For decade-long durability, shell cordovan is unbeatable. Calf leather offers excellent value if you accept a more pronounced grain texture.

Remove the spring bar located beneath the lug by using a dedicated fork-shaped tool. Gently extract the two lateral springs to release the original strap. Insert the new strap by threading one end first, then press the opposite spring into its seat. Verify the strap is perfectly aligned before wearing the watch.

Yes, provided it strictly respects the 20 mm lug width. The Saxonia 386.032, given its refined proportions, tolerates minimal variation. Always verify width with a calliper before purchase. Artisanal straps with production defect warranties are preferable to generic options, as they respect the model's specific construction details.

Durability depends on material and usage. A high-quality calf strap lasts 3–5 years with regular maintenance (monthly cleaning, deployante lubrication if present). Shell cordovan, thanks to its density, easily reaches 10–15 years. Alligator spans 6–8 years. Vegetable-tanned leather ages better, maintaining natural elasticity over time.
