Strap for Octo Roma 41 Stainless Steel / Silver

The Bulgari Octo 102779 (OC41C6SLD) features a lug width of 24 millimetres. This dimension is specific to the model and corresponds to the interface between the octagonal case and the strap attachment points. To verify, use a digital calliper positioning the palpators on the inner shoulders of the lugs.

Alligator is the privileged aesthetic choice: its linear grain amplifies the geometric rigour of the octagonal case. For those seeking manufacturing authenticity, vegetable-tanned calf develops patina over time. Shell cordovan offers sophisticated natural lustre. For sporadic use, FKM rubber or technical fabric straps maintain aesthetic proportion without practical compromise.

The Bulgari Octo 102779 is equipped with integrated lugs featuring standard 24mm spring bars. Using a spring bar removal tool, insert the tip into the lug access hole, apply pressure to compress the internal spring mechanism, and extract the old strap. Installation proceeds in reverse: align the strap, insert the lugs, and verify the locking click.

Yes, all straps with a 24mm lug width are compatible with the Bulgari Octo 102779. It is essential to verify the exact width: an error of 2–3 millimetres results in fitting difficulty or looseness in retention. Bespoke artisanal straps offer certainty of millimetre-perfect correspondence and dedicated finish options.

Durability depends on usage and leather quality. An alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap lasts approximately 18–24 months with daily wear. Leather is a living organism that ages: exposure to humidity, perspiration, and thermal variation accelerates deterioration. Casati Milano atelier offers an 18-month guarantee on custom straps, with possibility of extension through maintenance and regeneration.
