Strap for Laureato 38 Automatic Ceramic / Black / Rubber

A supreme-quality alligator strap—featuring tight grain and natural patina—represents the classical pairing, creating dialogue between the ceramic case and polished leather. An elegant alternative is vegetable-tanned calf, which develops chromatic evolution over time. For versatility, a technical textile NATO or vulcanised rubber strap maintains formal equilibrium whilst preserving the model's sporty vocational character.

Changing the strap on the Laureato 81005-32-631-FK6A requires a spring bar tool. Position the tool in the designated hole on the bar, apply gentle pressure to release the internal spring, and extract carefully. Insert the new strap from the lower lug, verifying correct spring lock engagement. The procedure demands care to avoid scratching the ceramic case.

A premium leather strap (alligator, calf) on a Girard-Perregaux Laureato 81005-32-631-FK6A typically lasts 3-5 years, depending on frequency of use, maintenance care, and bodily perspiration. Vegetable-tanned leather develops patina over time. Intensive daily use requires more frequent replacement; rotating straps extends service life. Storage in cool, dry environments prevents premature degradation.
