Strap for Carree Yellow Gold / MOP

The lug width of the Frederique Constant Carree FC-200WHDC25 is 19mm. This measurement corresponds to the distance between the two spring bar pins on the case. Any replacement strap must feature an exact width of 19mm at the attachment points to ensure proper fit and alignment.

Several materials complement this watch exceptionally. Alligator in small grain delivers formal sophistication and colour contrast against the white dial. Shell cordovan offers dense tactility that emphasises the case geometry. Vegetable-tanned calf provides organic warmth whilst developing natural patina over time. Vintage NATO cloth straps maintain the modernist Bauhaus ethos. All must be 19mm wide at the attachment section.

The procedure mirrors circular watches: use a spring bar tool to compress the retaining springs and extract the pins from the case lugs. Position the new 19mm strap, align the attachment holes with the pins, then press firmly until the pins engage with an audible click. Ensure the strap is perfectly centred on the square case before wearing.

Yes, provided the lug width is precisely 19mm. Many artisanal strap makers produce this specification. Always verify technical details with the manufacturer beforehand. Milanostraps offers a comprehensive selection of bespoke 19mm straps, customisable for your Carree with personalised initials, thread colour, and dimensions.

A quality leather strap with proper care typically lasts 3–5 years under regular wear. Longevity varies by tanning method, daily use, and maintenance protocols. Vegetable-tanned straps develop a beautiful natural patina, ageing gracefully. Casati Milano straps come with an 18-month guarantee and can be renewed through the atelier to extend functional life indefinitely.
