Strap for Carree Stainless Steel / MOP

The lug width of the FC-200WHDC26 is 19 millimetres. This dimension is not a widespread standard, but represents the precise proportioning between the 26mm square case and the strap. Always measure from the inner edge of one lug to the other to verify compatibility with aftermarket straps.

For the Carree FC-200WHDC26 we recommend materials that do not compete visually with the austere geometry of the case: alligator with regular grain, shell cordovan for tactile density, vegetable-tanned calf for processual authenticity. Avoid straps with elaborate textures that distract from the formal rigidity of the case.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar removal tool. Position the watch on a soft surface, insert the tool under the spring bar, gently extract the lug, then remove the strap. Repeat on the opposite side and install the new strap by inserting the spring bars into the new lugs with controlled pressure.

Yes. Milano Straps 19mm straps have been tested on similar models and maintain precise tolerances on spring bars. Always verify that the declared lug width is exactly 19mm and that the spring bars are of quality (stainless steel, fluid mechanism). Casati Milano atelier also offers bespoke customisation.

A quality leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan, calf) resists 18–36 months of daily wear, depending on climate, frequency of use and care. Vegetable-tanned leather develops predictable patina and ages aesthetically. We recommend rotating between at least two straps to extend overall lifespan.
