Strap for Serpenti Tubogas Silver Large
Integrated bracelet: measurements, the most common questions, and the way to a made-to-measure strap.
Integrated bracelet
The Bulgari Serpenti 101828 is designed with a bracelet integrated into the case. For a compatible made-to-measure strap, the Casati Milano atelier builds it on your watch.

Frequently asked questions
Can you fit a standard strap on the Bulgari Serpenti 101828?
No. The Tubogas bracelet is integrated into the case: there's no conventional strap attachment. I've seen many owners look for one. In the atelier, I craft a bespoke strap directly onto your case's geometry, without modifying the watch.
How does the bespoke strap work for the Serpenti?
We work exclusively at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment. I take measurements directly from your case — the fluidity of the Tubogas can't be grasped from a distance. Every detail is built at the bench, for you.
Which leather do you recommend for this model?
I prefer polished Mississippi Alligator. It has the density to match the sensual, decisive character of the Serpenti — that sinuousness deserves a leather that doesn't flatten. Alligator ages beautifully; scratches become patina.
How long does a well-made strap last?
With conscious use, 5 to 7 years. It depends on how you treat it: avoid prolonged water exposure and keep it away from direct heat. A good leather, cared for, tells the story of time passing — and that story is part of its beauty.
Why does the Serpenti have an integrated bracelet?
It's a Bulgari construction choice rooted in history: the Tubogas, born in the 1940s, is a continuous tubular geometry requiring horological precision. A fixed bracelet preserves that sculptural integrity. When you change the leather, you start again from the true measure of the case.
The next step
The right strap isn't chosen. It is built, together.
