Strap for Millenary Précieuse Pink Gold / MOP

The lug width of the Millenary 77227OR.ZZ.A012SU.01 is 20 mm. This is the internal measurement between the two case lugs on the pink gold case, and it is the key parameter for selecting a compatible strap. It should be measured using a digital calliper placed directly against the case between the two lug terminals.

For this pink gold reference with a silk dial, a belly alligator strap in tabac, cognac or bordeaux is the most aesthetically coherent choice. Vegetable-tanned calf leather, for those who appreciate a developing patina, is a valid alternative. A pronounced taper is recommended to respect the proportions of the oval case.

Strap replacement is carried out via the spring bars securing the strap to the case lugs. A fine-tipped spring bar tool is used to lever against the spring bar slot, compress it and slide it free from the lug. On a timepiece of this value, it is advisable to entrust the operation to a watchmaker or specialist atelier to avoid scratching the pink gold case.

Yes, any strap with a lug width of 20 mm is technically compatible. milanostraps.it offers a curated selection of handcrafted 20mm straps, including options in alligator, vegetable-tanned calf leather and shell cordovan, with customisable taper. For a fully bespoke result, Casati Milano crafts made-to-measure straps tailored to the specific proportions of the Millenary's oval case.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, frequency of use and maintenance. A quality alligator strap, rotated regularly and kept away from water and prolonged perspiration, will retain its structural and aesthetic integrity for 3 to 5 years. Shell cordovan offers superior longevity due to the density of its fibre. Casati Milano provides an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects on all bespoke straps.
