Strap for BR 123 Falcon

The lug width of the BRV123-FALCON/SCA is 22mm. This measurement represents the linear distance between the two spring bar attachments where the strap inserts. To verify, measure the distance between the inside edges of the two lugs: it must be exactly 22mm. On milanostraps.it you'll find dozens of 22mm-compatible straps, available for rapid shipping or customisable in length, colour, and stitching thread.

For the technical and minimalist profile of the BRV123-FALCON/SCA, we recommend dark brown shell cordovan or Tuscan leather with vegetable tanning in warm brown tones. Both respect the austerity of the satin-black dial and develop a natural patina over time. Chromexcel calf leather represents a dynamic alternative for those who rotate straps seasonally. We advise against alligator or overly decorative materials, which would clash with the functional rigour of the design.

Use a spring bar tool, the specialised instrument for removing the elastic pins (spring bars) that secure the strap to the case lugs. Position the tool in the spring's designated slot and press gently to release the pin on one side. Remove the old strap, then insert the new one by fixing one side first, compress the spring, and insert the pin into the opposite lug. Verify that it is firmly secured before wearing the watch. If you are inexperienced, the Casati Milano atelier offers strap changes by appointment.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible with the BRV123-FALCON/SCA. Milanostraps.it offers exclusively artisanal leather, rubber and technical fabric straps, tested for compatibility with Swiss watches of this calibre. You can choose from ready-to-ship models or commission a custom strap from the Casati Milano atelier, with the option to personalise leather type, colour, buckle and stitching thread.

A quality leather strap, if properly maintained, will last between 3 and 5 years with daily use. Longevity depends on frequency of wear, climate, humidity and maintenance. Vegetable-tanned leathers (such as Tuscan calf) and shell cordovan age beautifully, developing natural patina and texture, extending aesthetic life beyond functional wear. In humid or seasonal environments, rotate with rubber or fabric straps. Straps from milanostraps.it are crafted from premium leathers with an 18-month guarantee through Casati Milano.
