Strap for BR-X1 RS16

The lug width of the BRX1-CE-CF-RS16 is 24mm. This measurement is the standard for sports chronographs in this category and is proportioned to the 45mm case diameter. When ordering a strap, ensure it is compatible with 24mm lugs.

For the BRX1-CE-CF-RS16, we recommend a dark alligator or slate grey strap for formal elegance, or vegetable-tanned calf leather if you desire a natural patina that develops over time. For a sportier aesthetic, a black or navy blue fabric NATO strap perfectly honours the chronograph's avionic and motorsport heritage.

The process is straightforward: locate the spring bars connecting the strap to the case on both sides. Using a spring bar tool, gently push the bar downward to create clearance, then slide the old strap outward. Insert the new 24mm strap, aligning the holes with the bars, then release the tool. The bar will snap back into place, securing the new strap firmly.

Yes, any strap with 24mm lugs is compatible. We recommend verifying that the strap is crafted with precise dimensions and artisanal-quality materials. On milanostraps.it you'll find a curated selection of 24mm straps, customisable and crafted from premium leather, technical fabrics, and vulcanised rubber.

A quality leather strap, with ordinary care, typically lasts 2–4 years. Durability depends on frequency of wear and exposure to moisture and sunlight. The inner section, in contact with the wrist, ages more rapidly than the outer surface. The Casati Milano atelier provides an 18-month warranty on custom-made straps, with replacement or repair options during the warranty period.
