Strap for Triple Split White Gold / Grey

The lug width of the A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia 424.038 is 22mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two pins that attach the strap to the case and determines compatibility with aftermarket straps. Simply measure the free space between these points to verify correct fitting.

For the 424.038 in white gold with 43.2mm diameter, alligator straps (pearl grey, black, off-white), vegetable-tanned calf leather (brown, black, tan) or shell cordovan (burgundy, mahogany brown) are recommended. The choice depends on intended use: alligator for formal occasions, calf for daily wear, shell cordovan for those who appreciate a patina developing over time.

Position the watch with the case facing upwards. Use a spring bar removal tool to gently depress the elastic pin (spring bar) located inside the lug seat. Once released, the pin slides laterally and the strap disengages. To install a new strap, align the lug holes with the pins and compress the spring bar until it catches. Never force: proper operation requires minimal pressure and millimetric control.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible with the 424.038. However, given the value and construction quality of the watch, it is recommended to choose premium leathers (alligator, cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf) and ensure the buckle or deployant clasp is proportionate to the case. Casati Milano produces bespoke straps that fully respect this reference's quality standards.

A quality leather strap with daily use has an average lifespan of 3-5 years. Factors such as climate, humidity, tanning type (vegetable tanning resists atmospheric agents better) and frequency of wear affect longevity. Regular maintenance — gentle cleaning, air exposure, avoiding excessive moisture and heat — significantly extends useful life. Casati Milano straps benefit from an 18-month warranty on manufacturing defects.
