Strap for Villeret 8 Jours Manuelle Red Gold / Unique Piece / Cherry Blossom

The Blancpain Villeret 6612-3633-63B features a lug width of 22 millimetres. This measurement is specific to the model and allows the strap to pass smoothly between the case lugs whilst maintaining the visual balance of the 40-millimetre case diameter.

For a platinum Villeret, Nile alligator is the natural choice: the structured grain highlights the metal's patina development. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf offers a contemporary approach, whilst shell cordovan introduces dense texture and accelerated ageing that creates elegant contrast against the platinum.

Strap replacement requires a Spring Bar Tool: insert the bifurcated tip gently into the case lug holes, compress the internal spring and slide the strap away. For the Villeret with 22mm lug width, ensure the new strap has lugs correctly dimensioned to avoid lateral play. Casati Milano provides detailed instructions with every order.

Yes, all artisanal straps crafted for 22mm lug width are compatible with the Villeret 6612-3633-63B. Milano Straps offers a dedicated collection for this measurement, from alligator leather to vegetable-tanned calf and shell cordovan, crafted by specialised artisans.

A premium quality artisanal leather strap, such as those made from alligator or shell cordovan, has an average lifespan of 3–5 years with regular use, depending on frequency and humidity conditions. With periodic maintenance (cleaning and conditioning), longevity can extend further. A technical rubber nato offers superior durability, up to 7+ years.
