Strap for Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon Honeygold / Lumen

The lug width of the Saxonia 740.055FE is 20 mm. This specific measurement reflects the construction proportions of the 41.50 mm case and requires a strap expressly designed for this dimension. Always verify compatibility by placing a ruler between the lugs: the free space must correspond exactly to 20 mm.

Alligator leather represents the ideal choice for this watch: the uniform scales and natural patina that develops over time create a perfect aesthetic dialogue with the silver-brushed dial and honey gold case. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers a more rural yet refined character, whilst shell cordovan ages beautifully, acquiring cognac tones that accentuate the golden warmth of the case.

Strap replacement is performed using a spring bar tool: insert the lever into the side slot of the lug, lift the elastic pin slightly until it clicks, then remove the old strap. For the new strap, align the holes at the lug extremities and press the pin until an audible click is heard. Always verify that the pin is fully inserted before wearing the watch. If unfamiliar with the process, entrust the work to Casati Milano for professional execution.

Yes, any strap with a 20 mm lug width is compatible with the Saxonia 740.055FE. However, to preserve the elegance and value of the watch, we recommend selecting noble materials such as alligator, vegetable-tanned calf or shell cordovan. On milanostraps.it you will find a curated selection of 20 mm artisanal straps that respect the qualitative standards of the piece.

A high-quality leather strap, such as alligator or shell cordovan, typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear and regular maintenance. Durability depends on wear of the keeper (the loop that bends during closure) and the buckle: on a Saxonia fitted with an oro clasp, longevity extends as the snap mechanism distributes stress more evenly. Periodically rotating between two straps significantly extends the life of both.
