Strap for Capeland Flyback

The Baume & Mercier Capeland 10006 has a lug width of 20mm. This dimension is specific to the 44mm case architecture and is critical when selecting a compatible strap. To verify correctly, measure the internal distance between the lugs at their base: it must correspond exactly to 20mm.

For the Capeland 10006, we recommend alligator in vegetable tanning for a classical formal approach, calf leather for daily durability, or shell cordovan for balance between elegance and resistance. The choice depends on actual use: corporate environments require dark alligator, while sports applications suggest natural rubber or technical NATO fabric.

The process requires specific tools: a lug removal tool (push-pin tool) or a spring bar tool. Position the watch with the lugs horizontal, insert the tool into the lateral access hole of the lug, and push gently inward until the pin releases. Repeat for the second lug. Reverse the procedure with the new strap, ensuring the pins are fully seated.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 20mm. Verify the dimensions supplied by the manufacturer and, if possible, compare them with the original strap. Some aftermarket manufacturers declare 20mm but have construction tolerances that cause friction. A bespoke handcrafted strap eliminates this risk and guarantees precise fitting.

A high-quality vegetable-tanned alligator or calf leather, worn regularly (5–6 days per week), maintains structural integrity for 18–24 months. Durability depends on frequency of wear, sun exposure, ambient humidity, and maintenance. A premium shell cordovan strap can last up to 36 months. Casati Milano provides an 18-month warranty on craftsmanship.
