Strap for Le Brassus Carrousel Repetition Minutes Red Gold

The lug width of the Blancpain Le Brassus 0233-3634-55B is 23 millimetres. This measurement is calculated in proportion to the 45mm case diameter and ensures that the strap does not protrude beyond the case profile. Measurement is taken with a digital calliper between the two internal lugs where the strap inserts.

For this rose gold complication, we recommend alligator in dark brown or black, which enhances contrast with the dial and the natural patina of the metal. Shell cordovan in burgundy tones creates a sophisticated interplay between reds, whilst vegetable-tanned calf offers a more understated solution. The choice depends on intended use: textured leather for formal elegance, synthetic rubber for daily wear.

The change requires specific tools: a spring bar tool (T-shaped implement with rounded ends to avoid damaging the case). Position the tool in one of the two side lugs and gently push inward to release the internal spring of the spring bar. Remove the old strap and insert the new one, verifying that the lugs align perfectly within the case poles. Repeat for the opposite side.

Yes, provided the lug width is precisely 23 millimetres. Bespoke artisanal straps offer significantly superior construction quality and material selection compared to generic models. On milanostraps.it you can choose from alligator, shell cordovan, calf and rubber, with the option of requesting a bespoke strap through Casati Milano, the tailoring atelier by appointment.

A quality leather strap, crafted with vegetable tanning and saddle stitch seams, maintains structural integrity between 3 and 5 years with regular use and proper maintenance. Alligator and shell cordovan age elegantly, developing patina over time. High-density synthetic rubber offers greater resistance to atmospheric agents and requires lower maintenance. Casati Milano provides an 18-month warranty on manufacturing defects for all straps produced in-house.
