Strap for Carrara Marble / Blue

The CRRA08 features a lug width of 20mm, proportionate to the 45.20mm case diameter. This dimension is standard for watches in this category and is compatible with all straps specifically manufactured for 20mm lugs. Measurement should be carried out precisely using a digital calliper, verifying the internal distance between the lugs at their narrowest section.

For the CRRA08, a high-quality alligator strap represents the most sophisticated choice, creating superior aesthetic contrast with the marble surface whilst guaranteeing exceptional longevity. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather that develops patina over time remains an elegant and artisanal solution. For sporty use, a premium canvas NATO or FKM rubber strap maintains the robustness of the case without compromise.

The CRRA08 features a non-standard integrated lug system that requires technical expertise. This is not recommended as a user-facing operation: we advise contacting Casati Milano (bespoke atelier by appointment) or a specialist watchmaker experienced in luxury timepieces. The monolithic attachment requires specific tools and knowledge of the case geometry to avoid damage to the marble and ceramic components.

Yes, it is possible to use certified quality aftermarket straps with 20mm lug width, provided they have been correctly dimensioned and respect the geometry of the CRRA08's integrated lug system. However, we strongly recommend preliminary verification at Casati Milano to ensure perfect compatibility and avoid forcing the strap, which could scratch the marble or steel case.

Longevity depends on material quality and usage patterns. A premium alligator strap can last 5–7 years of daily wear whilst maintaining excellent aesthetic functionality. Vegetable-tanned calf varies between 3–5 years, during which it develops characteristic patina. Factors such as humidity, sun exposure and frequency of use significantly influence durability. Periodic maintenance (cleaning and conditioning) substantially extends longevity.
