Strap for Carree Automatic Rose Gold / Silver

The lug width of the Frederique Constant Carree FC-303MC4C25 is 22 millimetres. This measurement specifies the distance between the two attachment points on the case where the strap is secured via spring bars. Always verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

For the Carree FC-303MC4C25, alligator leather in vegetable tanning represents the most elegant choice, as its natural grain texture dialogues perfectly with the purity of the square case. Dark brown calf in vegetable tanning is ideal for those seeking daily wearability without sacrificing refinement. FKM rubber straps ensure versatility and water resistance. We recommend avoiding NATO fabrics, which would disrupt the visual equilibrium of the design.

To change the strap, you need a dedicated spring bar tool to extract the pins. Position the watch on a soft cloth, insert the tool into the small hole at each lug, push the pin towards the case centre to release one end of the strap, then repeat on the other side. Install the new strap by reversing the procedure. If you prefer not to risk it, Casati Milano atelier performs the change with artisanal expertise.

Yes, any strap with a 22-millimetre lug width is compatible with the Carree FC-303MC4C25. We recommend selecting straps made from high-quality materials—vegetable-tanned leather, alligator, FKM rubber—and always verify final dimensions (total width and length) to ensure comfort and correct visual proportions on your wrist.

A high-quality leather strap made in vegetable tanning has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with responsible daily use. Longevity depends on factors such as moisture exposure, frequency of wear and preventive maintenance. An alligator strap, if properly maintained, can last 5-7 years. Casati Milano atelier's warranty is 18 months on all custom-made artisanal straps.
