Strap for Manero Tourbillon Rose Gold / Silver

The lug width is 18mm. This measurement is specific to the Manero and is determined by the distance between the two lugs on the case. To verify compatibility, measure the distance between the lugs: it must be exactly 18mm. A strap of different width (16mm or 20mm) will not fit properly or will force the attachment.

For a rose gold Manero, we recommend dark brown alligator (geometric texture that enhances the case), vegetable-tanned calf leather in cognac tones (natural patina), or black shell cordovan for formal occasions. Avoid straps in cold tones (grey, dark blue) that conflict with the warm character of rose gold. Your choice depends on use: office, formal events or daily wear.

Strap change is accomplished by removing the two lugs (spring bars) from the case using a spring bar tool. Extract the old lug from the holes, align the new strap perpendicularly, then reinsert the lug until the hooks click into the case holes. Simple operation but requires care to avoid scratching the rose gold case. If inexperienced, entrust the task to a professional watchmaker.

Yes, any artisanal strap with 18mm lugs is technically compatible. However, aesthetic compatibility depends on material and finish: alligator, vegetable-tanned calf and shell cordovan integrate perfectly with the elegance of the dress watch. Avoid coarse materials (canvas, raw linen) that conflict with the refinement of the rose gold case.

A quality leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 5-8 years with normal daily use. Durability depends on: frequency of wear, ambient humidity, sun exposure and maintenance. Vegetable tanning tends to age nobly; chrome-tanned leather offers greater water resistance. Rubber or nitrile rubber straps last 10-15 years. Strap replacement poses no risk to the case.
