Strap for Little Saxonia Yellow Gold - Diamond / Silver

The 835.022 features a lug width of 18 millimetres. This measurement is taken between the inner edges of the case lugs (the protruding metal surfaces where the strap attaches). It is critical not to confuse this with the case diameter: whilst the 835.022 measures 34mm across, the lug width is precisely 18mm. Only straps with this specific dimension will fit correctly.

Given the minimalist character of the Saxonia 835.022, we recommend black alligator for maximum formality, vegetable-tanned calf leather in brown or cognac tones for aesthetic evolution over time, or polished shell cordovan in navy or grey for elegant versatility. Selection depends on usage: formal occasions benefit from alligator or polished shell cordovan, whilst daily wear advantages from the suppleness of calf. All our <a href="https://milanostraps.it/collections/cinturini-orologi-per-misura-ansa-18mm">18mm straps</a> are compatible.

Strap replacement on the Saxonia 835.022 requires removal of the spring bars (the small cylindrical pins) that secure the strap to the case lugs. Using a dedicated spring bar tool, press the pin inward, detach the old strap, and insert the new one by aligning its holes with the spring bar. Avoid excessive force to prevent scratching the gold case. If uncertain, consult a qualified watchmaker.

Yes, provided the aftermarket strap has a lug width of exactly 18 millimetres. Any strap manufactured to this specification will fit correctly. Milano Straps' <a href="https://milanostraps.it/collections/cinturini-orologi-per-misura-ansa-18mm">18mm straps</a> have been tested for compatibility with models in this category. We recommend verifying the lug width specification with the vendor to ensure compatibility.

Longevity depends on material and usage patterns. Alligator, with routine maintenance (occasional cleaning and annual water-repellent treatment), lasts 10-15 years. Vegetable-tanned calf, being more supple, has an average lifespan of 5-8 years before replacement, though the aged patina remains valued by many collectors. Shell cordovan occupies a middle ground (7-10 years). Natural rubber lasts 3-5 years. These estimates extend if the watch is worn occasionally or subjected to regular professional maintenance.
