Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Certina DS Caimano C035.007.27.127.00?

The lug width is 15mm. This dimension is specific to the 29mm DS Caimano case and is measured perpendicularly between the two lug shoulders on the case. It is not a standard market dimension, so precise verification is necessary before ordering an aftermarket strap.

Which strap do you recommend for the Certina DS Caimano C035.007.27.127.00?

The choice depends on intended use. An alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather strap emphasises formal elegance and develops natural patina over time. NATO straps ensure daily practicality and versatility. Vulcanised rubber is ideal for humid environments or a technical-sporty aesthetic. We recommend choosing based on primary use context.

How do you change the strap on this Certina model?

The strap is changed by removing the two lateral pins connecting the lugs to the case. Using a spring bar remover, gently lever the pin until one end is freed, then extract it. Conversely, insert the new strap, align the holes, and reintroduce the pin until the click of engagement. This operation is recommended with an expert if you lack experience.

Which aftermarket straps are compatible with the C035.007.27.127.00?

All straps with 15mm lug width are compatible. We recommend straps made by specialised craftsmen who guarantee precise tolerances for this non-standard width. Avoid inexpensive straps that may have defective tolerances. Always verify specifications before ordering.

How long does a leather strap last on a watch with daily use?

A quality leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf) lasts on average 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Longevity depends on ambient humidity, cleaning frequency and intensity of use. Vegetable tanning develops patina and actually improves aesthetically over the years. A NATO or rubber strap has longer lifespan, 5-8 years, as they do not degrade organically like leather.
