Strap for Little Saxonia White Gold / Silver

The lug width is precisely 18 millimetres. This measurement represents the internal distance between the two lugs of the case. To verify, insert a ruler or digital calliper between the lugs, measuring shoulder to shoulder. A tolerance of ±0.5 mm is acceptable for aftermarket strap installation.

Alligator leather of first grade is the canonical choice: its fine and regular grain emphasises the formal rigidity of the case. Alternatively, shell cordovan offers exceptional lustre and wear resistance. For those seeking colour evolution over time, vegetable-tanned calf leather develops a noble patina that dialogues harmoniously with white gold.

Use a spring bar tool or dedicated lever. Position the watch horizontally, slightly compress the spring bar from the opposite side, then insert the spring bar tool into the hole and lift the bar. Remove the old strap and insert the new one's bars. Repeat on the other side. Proceed with care to avoid scratching the case.

Yes, provided it is specifically designed for 18 mm lugs and respects construction quality standards. Low-quality straps may present loose mounting tolerances, lateral play, or inadequate finishing. We recommend artisanal straps manufactured to precise specifications, with certified 18 mm compatibility.

Longevity depends on usage and material. A quality alligator or shell cordovan, subjected to seasonal rotation (not worn daily for years), lasts 4–6 years before requiring reconditioning or replacement. Vegetable-tanned calf, being more absorbent, requires preventive conditioning every 12–18 months. Stitching wear is the first indicator of ageing.
