Strap for Lady Serenade Stainless Steel / Blue MOP - Index Line / Alligator - Pin

The lug width is precisely 18mm. This measurement must be verified using a digital calliper inside the case lugs. Do not use straps of different widths (16mm or 20mm), as they will not fit correctly into the attachment pins and may damage the case.

We recommend alligator in dark brown, vegetable-tanned calf leather, or shell cordovan. Alligator amplifies formal elegance, calf leather evolves in colour over time, and shell cordovan represents ultimate sophistication. For daily wear, a technical NATO in heavyweight canvas is suitable. Avoid synthetic rubber, which contrasts excessively with the case's aesthetic intent.

Place the watch on a soft surface. Use a spring bar removal tool or small flat screwdriver to gently push the elastic pin (spring bar) inward. The pin will retract, allowing you to remove the old strap. Insert the pin into the new strap, align it with the lug, and click the pin into position. Verify that it is locked both inside and outside. Repeat for the second pin.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 18mm. Milano Straps offers artisanal straps verified for this geometry. Avoid straps with approximate widths: a 1-2mm variation compromises the fit and risks scratching the case during installation. Always verify technical specifications before purchase.

An artisanal strap in vegetable-tanned calf or alligator leather, worn daily with moderate use, lasts 3-5 years. Duration is influenced by sun exposure, perspiration, humidity, and frequency of wear. Natural leather develops patina and micro-cracks, which do not compromise functionality but mark aesthetic ageing. Shell cordovan, being denser, may last 6-8 years. NATO or rubber straps last longer (8-10 years) but develop less aesthetic patina.
