Strap for C-Sport Stainless Steel / Bue / Bracelet

The lug width of the C260.7198.42.56 is precisely 20 millimetres. This intermediate measure requires careful attention when selecting aftermarket straps, as even minor thickness variations affect fit. To verify accuracy, measure the internal space between the lugs using a digital calliper.

The ideal strap depends on intended use. For daily elegance, we recommend alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather in cognac brown or black tones. For sporting and aquatic activities, FKM rubber provides superior resistance. NATO nylon offers practical versatility. Casati Milano personalises each proposal according to your style.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool (the bi-wire spring securing the strap to the lugs). Insert the tool blade into the upper passant hole, push gently until releasing the spring, and extract the strap. Repeat at the lower passant. For new strap installation, position one end in the lower lug, then lower the upper spring into the opposite hole.

Theoretically yes, provided the lug is precisely 20mm and thickness does not exceed 1.5mm. However, we recommend caution with generic straps as construction accuracy varies significantly. MilanoStraps offers artisanal straps tested and developed specifically for this measure, guaranteeing optimal proportions and superior aesthetic finish.

A premium leather strap with vegetable tanning subjected to moderate daily use typically lasts 4–6 years before showing significant wear. Durability depends on sun exposure, humidity, frequency of use and maintenance. FKM rubber resists 5–8 years under moderate to elevated stress conditions. We recommend rotating straps to distribute wear.
