Strap for Tourbillon Souscription Yellow Gold / Silver

The lug width of the DR0011YG-01 is 20.00mm. This precise measurement is characteristic of independent and vintage watchmakers featuring medium case diameters. Verify with a digital calliper positioned perpendicular to the internal lug shoulders to confirm compatibility before purchasing a strap.

For the DR0011YG-01, alligator represents the ideal aesthetic choice: the natural geometry of the shields amplifies the case's craftsmanship. Alternatively, shell cordovan offers superior durability and a patina that evolves over time, whilst vegetable-tanned calf provides balance between initial suppleness and conscious ageing. Avoid materials that compete chromatically with yellow gold.

Position the watch on a clean surface with the case facing upward. Use a spring bar tool to gently push the metal pin of the spring downward. By compressing the spring, you can extract the old strap and insert the new one, aligning the lug holes. Repeat for both sides. If unfamiliar with the procedure, contact a specialist service centre.

Theoretically yes, if the measurement is exact (20.00mm) and the strap has no integrated metal pins requiring specific attachments. However, we recommend artisanal straps manufactured for the 20mm lug width, as they guarantee correct tolerances and a finish consistent with the Daniel Roth's constructive excellence. Always verify with the seller before purchase.

Durability depends on material and usage. Vegetable-tanned alligator lasts 3–4 years with moderate daily wear. Shell cordovan resists 5–7 years owing to natural leather density. Calf, being thinner, has a useful life of 2–3 years. Factors such as humidity, sun exposure, and frequency of use significantly influence longevity. Rotating between multiple straps extends overall durability.
