Strap for Millenary Précieuse Pink Gold / Silver

The lug width of the Millenary 77226OR.ZZ.A012SU.01 is 20mm. This measurement should be taken with a digital calliper between the two lugs at the point where the strap attaches to the case. Respecting this dimension is essential to ensure correct fitment of any aftermarket strap.

For the 28mm pink gold case of the Millenary 77226OR.ZZ.A012SU.01, the most suitable materials are vegetable-tanned alligator — with its symmetrical belly grain — and shell cordovan, which develops a distinctive patina over time. Both pair harmoniously with the mother-of-pearl dial. A tapered cut from 20mm to 16mm is recommended to maintain the proportions of the case.

The strap is removed using a flat-tip spring bar tool, applying gentle pressure to release the spring bar connecting the strap to the lug. Care should be taken not to scratch the pink gold case: it is advisable to protect the lugs with watchmaker's adhesive tape or to entrust the operation to a qualified watchmaker. The spring bar should be inspected and replaced if worn at the same time as the strap.

Yes. Any strap with a 20mm straight-end attachment is technically compatible with the Millenary 77226OR.ZZ.A012SU.01. Milanostraps.it offers a range of options in alligator, calf leather and shell cordovan with a 20mm lug width, cut and finished for this type of attachment. The choice of material and colour depends on intended use and compatibility with the pink gold case.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, the tanning process and daily use. A vegetable-tanned alligator strap, properly maintained — avoiding prolonged exposure to water and perspiration and applying a leather conditioner every three to four months — can last between three and six years while retaining its appearance. Shell cordovan, owing to the dense fibre structure of the hide, tends to last longer and develops a patina over time that enhances its aesthetic value.
