Strap for Lady Serenade Stainless Steel - Diamond / MOP / Alligator - Folding

The lug width is 18 mm. This measurement is critical for any compatible aftermarket strap: it must be measured between the inner points of the case lugs, where the spring bars are anchored. Even a minor variance (16 mm or 20 mm) will render the strap physically incompatible.

For this 36 mm case, we recommend three solutions: genuine alligator for formal elegance (natural grain, small and uniform), vegetable-tanned calf for daily versatility (colour transparency evolves over time), or sports rubber for those alternating formal and dynamic settings. Shell cordovan represents a premium choice that develops rich patina over time.

You will need a spring bar tool (a small lever instrument, typically supplied with quality aftermarket straps). Position the watch on a soft surface, insert the tool into the lateral slot of the lug, lift the pin to release the spring bar, remove the original strap. Reverse the procedure to install the new 18 mm strap. Execute with care to avoid scratching the case.

Yes, provided the lug width is strictly 18 mm. Before ordering, verify the case lug width with a digital calliper.

A calf or alligator strap with vegetable tanning lasts 4–7 years with moderate daily wear (avoid frequent water exposure, protect from prolonged direct sunlight). Shell cordovan, being denser and more oily, extends lifespan to 10+ years. Maintenance is minimal: wipe with a damp cloth, occasionally apply leather conditioner. The patina that develops is characteristic and desirable.
