Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Bell & Ross BR-03 BR0390-BICOLOR?
The Bell & Ross BR-03 BR0390-BICOLOR is fitted with a <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/misura-ansa">lug width</a> of 20mm. This width is consistent across all BR-03 variants, including the bicolor models combining rose gold and stainless steel cases. Always verify the exact lug dimensions before placing your order to ensure proper fitment.
Which strap material suits the BR-03 BR0390-BICOLOR best?
For the BR0390-BICOLOR, we recommend <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/alligatore">alligator</a> leather in black or dark brown to emphasise the contrast between the rose gold and steel case. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather with <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/concia-vegetale">vegetable tanning</a> in matte black provides classical harmony, whilst a charcoal rubber strap delivers sportive functionality whilst maintaining the watch's industrial aesthetic.
How do I change the strap on a Bell & Ross BR-03?
The BR-03's 20mm lug width is secured with spring bars. Using a quality strap removal tool, gently press the spring bar downward to disengage it from the lug holes. Remove the old strap and insert the new one by positioning the spring bar through the lugs. Ensure the spring bar is fully locked on both sides before wearing. Casati Milano's atelier offers professional strap changes with an extensive selection of hand-tanned leathers, available by appointment.

How long does a leather strap last?
A handcrafted leather strap, such as those from Casati Milano, varies in longevity depending on daily wear and tanning method. A dark vegetable-tanned leather with pronounced grain typically lasts 18–24 months of regular use, developing a beautiful patina over time. Alligator leather offers superior durability, lasting up to 36 months, whilst shell cordovan is among the most resilient materials due to its natural density. The 18-month warranty covers manufacturing defects; annual replacement is recommended for watches exposed to humid environments or temperature fluctuations.
