Strap for Centenaire Date 32mm

The lug width is 20mm, a standard size typical of Heritage models and vintage timepieces. Measurement is taken centre-to-centre between the two case attachments using a ruler. This dimension provides access to a wide range of compatible artisan straps, ensuring balanced proportions on the 32mm case.

Alligator with vegetable tanning is the optimal choice for rose gold, thanks to its fine grain texture and natural colour that complements the warmth of the metal. Premium alternatives include shell cordovan for superior durability and vegetable-tanned veal for a patina that ages beautifully. Chromatically, dark brown, cognac, and deep burgundy are the most harmonious tones.

Strap replacement is performed by removing the spring bars located at the ansa ends. Use a dedicated tool to compress the small elastic pin and slide out the original strap. Insert the new 20mm strap by leveraging the opposite spring bar until it clicks into place. The procedure takes less than two minutes and requires no specialised tools.

Yes, provided the width is exactly 20mm. Any artisan strap of this lug width is compatible thanks to standard spring bars. Milano Straps straps are specifically tested on this lug width and available in fine leather, NATO, and rubber, guaranteeing construction quality equivalent to the ETA 2671 movement.

A high-quality artisan alligator or shell cordovan strap lasts approximately 3–5 years with daily wear, depending on sun exposure, perspiration, and humidity. Vegetable-tanned veal has similar durability but develops characteristic patina. To extend lifespan, we recommend rotating at least two straps and occasional cleaning with neutral soap and water.
