Strap for Le Brassus Carrousel Repetition Minutes Red Gold

The lug width of the Blancpain Le Brassus 00235-3631-55B is 23 millimetres. This width represents the distance between the two case lugs and is critical for ensuring proper strap compatibility. Always verify that the strap keeper adheres perfectly to the lug shoulders without lateral play.

Dark brown alligator and vegetable-tanned calf leather represent the most coherent choices given the formal character and rose gold case. Alligator offers classic haute horlogerie aesthetics, whilst vegetable-tanned calf guarantees longevity and a noble patina over time. Both materials age in a manner complementary to the warmth of the gold.

Strap replacement requires targeted pressure on the spring bars to release the keeper. Use a dedicated spring bar tool to avoid scratches on the rose gold case. Insert the new strap by aligning the keeper to the lug shoulders, then verify there is no lateral play. This operation is recommended at an authorised service centre to protect the case.

Yes, artisanal quality aftermarket straps with 23mm lug width are available. Milano Straps offers a selection of straps in alligator, vegetable-tanned calf and other compatible materials. The important factor is always to verify correct lug measurement and construction quality of the keeper to guarantee stability and case protection.

Longevity depends on material and frequency of use. Quality artisanal alligator lasts 5–10 years of regular wear, whilst vegetable-tanned calf can reach 8–12 years. Patina and colour change are signs of natural ageing, not deterioration. Warranty typically covers manufacturing defects for 18 months.
