Strap for Laureato 42 Automatic Skeleton Ceramic / Bracelet

The <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/misura-ansa">lug width</a> of the Girard-Perregaux Laureato 81015-32-432-32A is 27mm. This specific dimension allows you to pair artisan straps that respect the octagonal proportions of the case and ensure a seamless transition between the integrated lugs and aftermarket straps.

For this 42mm ceramic case, we recommend straps in <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/alligatore">alligator</a> or vegetable-tanned calf leather with natural grain finish, which create tactile contrast with the polished ceramic surface. Alternatively, a woven cotton NATO strap preserves the contemporary character. For versatility, a black rubber strap with embossed texture recalls the minimalism of the 1970s that the Laureato reinterprets.

The integrated lugs on the Laureato 81015-32-432-32A require precise handling: use a thin spring bar tool to extract the primary pins from their seats. Do not force—pins must slide smoothly. Once the original strap is removed, position the new strap (compatible with 27mm <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/misura-ansa">lug width</a>) by aligning the apertures, then carefully reinsert the pins with gentle rotational pressure. If inexperienced, entrust the work to Casati Milano to avoid scratching the ceramic.

Any artisan strap with a 27mm <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/misura-ansa">lug width</a> is compatible with the Laureato 81015-32-432-32A. We recommend checking strap thickness (typically 4–5mm): thinner straps create visual distance from the case, while structured straps emphasise ceramic mass. Vegetable-tanned leather guarantees a patina that ages predictably and harmoniously.

A quality artisan strap with vegetable tanning lasts an average of 5–7 years with moderate daily wear, provided regular care (cleaning, conditioning). The ceramic case releases no corrosive agents, so leather ages naturally, developing a rich, dark patina. <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/alligatore">Alligator</a> and <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/shell-cordovan">shell cordovan</a> offer superior longevity (8–10 years). NATO and rubber straps have indefinite durability with basic maintenance.
