Strap for Octo Finissimo Automatic Arabic Blue / Titanium

Not a standard one: the integrated lug is part of the octagonal case geometry and incompatible with conventional straight bars. The correct solution is a bespoke strap built directly on the watch by <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, where artisans measure the exact proportions and craft a dedicated lug.

The process begins with an appointment at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, where the watch is examined and measured directly. Artisans record the angles, thicknesses and proportions of the integrated lug, then craft the strap to these specific parameters, ensuring total coherence with the case design.

The titanium with satin finish requires long-fibred, regular-weave leathers: alligator with uniform grain, calf with balanced patina, or Nile crocodile. Avoid opaque or chaotic-texture leathers; the Octo demands geometric elegance in the strap too, and leather that patinas slowly over time.

A strap made with traditional techniques and through-stitched seams, in first-grade leather, lasts between 5 and 10 years of regular wear, depending on maintenance. The patina that develops increases the aesthetic value of the object over time, making it increasingly personal.

The 110 polished facets and octagonal titanium case are not ornamental but structural language inspired by Roman architecture—the Cupola of Santa Maria degli Angeli. Gérald Genta fully integrated bracelet and case into a single geometry, asserting that form itself is the watch's identity.
