Strap for Villeret Quantième Complet 40mm Stainless Steel / Grey / Bracelet

The Blancpain Villeret 6654-1113-MMB features a 22 mm lug width. This dimension is specific to the model and ensures balanced proportions between the 40 mm round case and the strap. To verify compatibility, measure the space between the lugs (spring bars) on the case: it must be precisely 22 mm.

We recommend alligator Mississippi in Navy Blue or Black as primary choices, or shell cordovan in deep Cognac tones. Both offer understated elegance and develop beautiful patina over time. Vegetable-tanned calf leather is a versatile alternative, whilst Tropic rubber is the solution for warm climates or water sports without functional compromise.

The strap is changed by extracting the spring bars connecting the strap to the case lugs. You will need a watchmaker's screwdriver and precision: position paper beneath the case to avoid losing the bar. Many prefer professional service: Casati Milano offers competent strap changes with careful case handling. Alternatively, contact an authorised Blancpain service centre.

Yes. A quality strap with 22 mm lug width is fully compatible. Ensure thickness does not exceed 4.5 mm (otherwise it may fit tightly in the lugs) and verify the strap is crafted in premium leather—alligator, shell cordovan, calf—befitting the watch's value. Milano Straps offers 22 mm straps specifically designed for elegance and durability.

A premium leather strap (alligator, cordovan, calf) on a daily-wear watch typically lasts 3–5 years before replacement is required. Longevity depends on usage frequency, climate, perspiration and maintenance. Humid environments and frequent water contact reduce lifespan. Vegetable-tanned leather favours gradual ageing, whilst Tropic rubber resists moisture better. Casati Milano offers 18-month warranty against production defects.
