Strap for Héritage Moonphase 8860 Rose Gold / Silver

For this rose gold model with guilloché bezel, the most fitting strap is smooth alligator in semi-gloss finish, available in bordeaux, cognac, or deep navy. Box calf is a refined alternative that develops personal patina over time. Both materials respect the formal nature of the piece without overwhelming the mother-of-pearl dial.

The strap is replaced using a spring bar tool or flat-head screwdriver, gently prying the fixing bars between the lugs. Given the precious nature of the rose gold case and the curved lugs of this model, it is recommended to entrust the task to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier to avoid scratches on the surface.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, daily use, and care. High-quality alligator, when rotated with other straps and kept away from moisture and perspiration, can last three to six years while maintaining structural and aesthetic integrity. Box calf develops appreciable patina within the first year but typically requires replacement more frequently. Milanostraps.it guarantees its straps for 18 months against manufacturing defects.
