Frequently asked questions
Can a standard strap be fitted to the Royal Oak Offshore 26424BC.ZZ.D002CA.01?
No. The bracelet is integrated into the case structure itself: there are no standard lugs to attach an off-the-shelf strap. This is a design constraint, not a limitation. In my atelier I build the attachment directly on the watch, entirely bespoke.
How does the bespoke strap service work for this model?
I work exclusively through <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment only, at Via XX Settembre 15 in Milan. I bring the watch to the bench, take measurements directly from the real case, and build every component of the attachment by hand. There are no templates: each piece is born from that specific watch.
Which leather do I recommend for this Royal Oak Offshore?
For a case in black ceramic, white gold and diamonds, I go without hesitation to glossy alligator in black or midnight blue. The character of the watch is sporting but overtly refined, and alligator holds that tension better than any other leather. I would steer clear of anything too casual: it would clash with the geometry of the case.
How long does a well-made strap last?
With daily care — keeping it away from prolonged water exposure, letting it dry if it gets wet, conditioning the leather twice a year — I easily reach seven to ten years of regular wear. Quality leather does not deteriorate: it transforms. It develops a patina that tells the story of time spent on the wrist, and to me that is the most honest thing about a strap.
What makes the case architecture of this Royal Oak Offshore so complex?
The faceted ceramic geometry and the octagonal bracelet attachment leave no room for approximation. Every plane of the case has a precise angle, and the strap attachment must respect it to avoid breaking the visual logic of Gérald Genta's original design. I have seen poorly fitted straps on similar watches: you notice immediately, and it is painful to look at.
The next step
