Strap for Villeret Ultraplate Power Reserve Date Stainless Steel / White / Bracelet

The lug width is 22 millimetres. This measurement is taken from the distance between the two lateral spring bar holes on the case. It is the standard for watches of this size class and guarantees access to a comprehensive catalogue of compatible artisanal straps.

For a dressy Villeret, premium-grade alligator represents the classic pairing: the fine grain of the leather dialogues with the austere simplicity of the stainless steel case. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather develops a patina over time, whilst shell cordovan offers exceptional memory and natural lustre without polished finishing.

Use a spring bar tool to compress the small lateral springs and withdraw the spring bars from the case lugs. Insert the new strap, aligning the bars in the corresponding holes, and verify that the springs close securely. Avoid forcing: the motion should be fluid. If uncertain, seek professional assistance.

Yes. Any 22mm strap is compatible with this model. On milanostraps.it you will find a selection of artisanal straps crafted in alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan and other materials, with finishes and colours conceived specifically for elegant watches such as the Villeret.

Durability depends on usage intensity and leather quality. Premium-grade alligator or shell cordovan resists 5–7 years with moderate daily wear. Vegetable-tanned leather develops patina over time, evolving aesthetically whilst retaining robustness. Humidity and perspiration accelerate wear: keep the strap in a dry environment when not worn.
