Strap for Millenary Précieuse White Gold / MOP

For this Millenary in white gold and diamonds, an alligator strap in vegetable-tanned leather is the most coherent choice: the natural grain of the scales interacts with the pavé setting without competing with it. Shell cordovan in dark tones offers a refined, aristocratic sobriety. A deployant clasp in white gold or brushed steel is preferable to a pin buckle to preserve the strap's integrity over time.

To replace the strap, use a fine-tipped spring bar tool, inserting it into the slot between the lug and the spring bar. Apply gentle leverage to compress the spring bar and slide it out. Work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the white gold case. If you are unfamiliar with the process, it is advisable to consult a watchmaker or use the installation service offered by Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, frequency of use, and exposure to perspiration and moisture. A quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap can last between three and six years with regular wear, provided it is kept away from prolonged water exposure and allowed to dry naturally after use. Shell cordovan tends to develop a characteristic patina that improves its appearance over time. All Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
