Strap for Lady Serenade Rose Gold / Diamond / Black / Alligator - Folding

The lug width is 18 millimetres. This measurement is determined by the inner shoulder of the case where the strap actually sits. It is essential to measure this dimension precisely (to the nearest tenth of a millimetre) to ensure correct and stable fit. All straps intended for this model must strictly adhere to this specification.

The choice depends on usage and aesthetic preference. Alligator leather in cognac or honey tones represents the most elegant solution, enhancing the warmth of rose gold. Vegetable-tanned calf leather offers versatility and daily wearability. NATO straps in neutral colours create contemporary contrast. For sports or summer use, rubber or technical textiles guarantee practicality without compromising the overall elegance of the piece.

Strap replacement occurs through the lateral lugs of the case. Using the appropriate tool (spring bar tool or dedicated extractor), gently loosen the pins that connect the lug to the case body. Once the pins are extracted, the previous strap releases. Insert the new strap, aligning it correctly, and reinsert the pins with equal care. It is advisable to entrust this operation to a qualified watchmaker if you lack direct experience.

Yes, absolutely. A high-quality aftermarket strap (such as those offered by Milano Straps for the 18mm lug width) is fully compatible with the Lady Serenade. What matters is that the lug width matches precisely the required 18 millimetres and that the constructional quality is consistent with the value and heritage of the case. Bespoke artisanal straps allow you to tailor the piece to your personal style without constructional compromise.

The durability of a leather strap depends on the quality of tanning, intensity of use, and climatic conditions. A fine alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather, worn daily and subjected to ordinary maintenance (drying after rain, protection from excessive heat), maintains its structural integrity between 4 and 7 years. Constant exposure to humidity or direct sunlight shortens this interval. Periodic strap replacement is part of conscientious ownership of a valuable mechanical timepiece.
