Strap for DS-1 Roman

The lug width of the Certina DS-1 C0064071108801 is 20mm. This measurement corresponds to the distance between the case lugs and represents the fundamental parameter for selecting compatible straps. Since the lugs are integrated into the case, the measurement remains constant and does not vary.

The ideal strap depends on the intended use. For formal contexts, we recommend alligator or calf leather with vegetable tanning; for everyday versatility, a fabric NATO strap offers resistance; for casual or sports occasions, structured rubber ensures water resistance and practicality. All straps must respect the 20mm lug width for optimal compatibility.

Strap changing requires a specific tool to remove the spring bars, or professional intervention at Casati Milano for bespoke services. Ensure you purchase 20mm-compatible straps. If you opt for made-to-measure personalisation, our atelier provides dedicated consultation and realisation.

Compatibility is guaranteed provided the strap has the correct measurement.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on frequency of use, environmental conditions, and maintenance. On average, a calf or alligator strap lasts 3-5 years with moderate daily wear and regular cleaning. Materials exposed to high humidity or frequent perspiration wear more quickly. Vegetable-tanned leather offers superior longevity and controlled aging over time.
