Strap for Octa Lune 42 Platinum / Grey / Bracelet

The lug width of the FP Journe Octa 1300.3 NOL 42 PT GR BR is 20mm. This measurement is taken between the case lugs and is critical to ensure correct strap fitting without lateral play or abnormal stress on the lugs.

For a timepiece of this calibre, we recommend an alligator strap with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan. Both materials reflect the austere construction philosophy of the Octa: pleasant tactile texture, patina that evolves over time, discreet elegance. For a formal-sporty pairing, vegetable-tanned calf leather in black or deep brown is ideal.

The strap is removed by extracting the spring bars from the lugs using a spring bar tool. Since the lug is slender and precise, we recommend operating with care, preferably on a soft cloth to avoid scratches. Insert the new bars into the new strap, then slide them into the lugs until the catch engages. If you are inexperienced, it is always preferable to have Casati Milano atelier perform the replacement.

Yes. All straps compatible with the 20mm lug width can be installed on the 1300.3 NOL 42 PT GR BR, provided they are manufactured to precise construction tolerances.

A quality leather strap (alligator or shell cordovan) has an average lifespan of 3-5 years under normal conditions, taking into account humidity and perspiration. Vegetable-tanned leather develops authentic patina over time. Milano Straps offers straps made with vegetable-tanned leather that age elegantly: they can be restored or replaced according to your aesthetic preferences. Rubber straps have a longer lifespan (5-7 years) in humid environments.
