Strap for Santos Dumont 38 Date / Power Reserve Pink Gold / Grey

No, this model has the bracelet integrated directly into the rose gold case. The attachment is proprietary and a standard strap won't engage. This is exactly where we come in: I build a custom strap in the atelier, modelled millimetre by millimetre to the geometry of your case.

I work by appointment only. I take time to measure your case and attachment lugs directly. Every strap is handcrafted to dialogue with the watch, respecting the proportions Cartier designed. <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Book a consultation with Casati Milano</a>.

I prefer Mississippi Alligator. This watch has both a sporty and elegant character, and alligator offers natural grain that ages beautifully without seeking the limelight. Barenia from our private reserve is the alternative if you love vintage patina from day one.

A quality leather strap lasts years, depending on wear and care. Leather breathes, ages with character, develops patina. It's not eternal, but it's alive. With proper attention — keeping it dry, avoiding constant sun exposure — I see straps on my clients' wrists after 5, 6, even 8 years of daily wear.

Because it was born in 1904 as the first modern wristwatch. Louis Cartier designed it with squared geometry and visible screws that aren't merely aesthetic: every detail is functional. The rose gold amplifies this purity. A bespoke strap must honour this history, not obscure it.
