Strap for DS-2 Lady Yellow Gold / MOP

The lug width of the Certina Heritage Collection C024.207.36.111.00 is precisely 20 millimetres. This measurement represents the internal distance between the strap attachment pins on the case, measured centre to centre. It is a fixed construction parameter and ensures compatibility only with straps that respect this exact dimension.

The Certina Heritage Collection accommodates multiple solutions. Alligator or shell cordovan with vegetable tanning emphasizes the heritage and formal identity of the piece. For a more contemporary approach, a NATO in neutral palettes (black, navy blue, grey) underscores the sporty versatility. Grained calf leather represents the ideal compromise between elegance and perceived robustness.

The operation requires a spring bar tool (specialized instrument for extracting elastic pins). Extract the pins from their original position, position the new elastic rings around the pins themselves, and insert the new strap into the case attachments. If you are uncertain about the procedure, rely on the strap replacement service at Casati Milano by appointment.

Any strap with a 20-millimetre lug width is compatible with the Certina Heritage Collection C024.207.36.111.00. milanostraps.it offers a collection of artisanal straps in leather, alligator, shell cordovan, textile and rubber, all available in 20mm width and customizable according to colour and construction preferences.

The longevity of a leather strap depends on usage intensity, exposure to moisture and materials employed. An alligator or shell cordovan with vegetable tanning maintains structural integrity for 3–5 years of ordinary use. Standard calf leather resists 2–3 years before showing visible signs of wear. Regular care (drying after water contact, protection from direct heat sources) significantly extends longevity.
