Strap for Royal Oak 26343 Tourbillon Chronograph Openworked Ceramic / Rubber

No. The bracelet is integrated into the case: the attachment geometry is proprietary and a standard strap simply cannot connect. This is one of those pieces where bespoke work is not an option but the only route. In the atelier I build each terminal directly on the watch.

I work exclusively through <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment only, at Via XX Settembre 15 in Milan. I take the measurements directly from the case at the bench: each terminal is hand-shaped to follow the octagonal geometry of the attachment. There is no template — every strap that leaves the atelier is built for that specific piece.

For a watch with a titanium and anthracite ceramic case, my choice is Mississippi Alligator treated with oil and a matte finish. The sporting character of this Royal Oak Offshore calls for a leather with presence, not shine. Naturally aged Barenia is another interesting option: over time it develops a patina that works well with the grey tones of the case.

A strap built with top-grade leather and hand-stitched will easily last eight to ten years with proper care. The rule is straightforward: avoid prolonged exposure to water and let it breathe between wearings. Quality leathers do not deteriorate — they age, and often after a few years they carry a character the new version never had.

Cermet is the result of a high-temperature fusion of titanium and ceramic: it is not a coating, it is a material transformation of the case itself. That anthracite grey tone you see is not a colour applied to the surface. I have seen many sporting watches over the years, but few have this consistency between material and the octagonal form that Genta originally conceived.
