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

The lug width measures 18mm, calculated from the inner shoulder between the lugs. This uncommon specification requires targeted research for compatible straps, as most mainstream manufacturers do not produce 18mm configurations. Precise measurement with callipers is essential before any purchase.

For this 36mm stainless steel case with transparent caseback, alligator leather with vegetable tanning in dark tones enhances formality without competing with the visible movement. A cognac-coloured calf in natural patina builds chromatic harmony with champagne dials, whilst a grey NATO maintains seasonal lightness. Selection depends on intended context of use.

Strap change is executed using a spring bar tool to compress the lug springs and release the existing strap. Position the tool in the lateral groove of the lug, push the spring inward and extract the pin. Insert the new 18mm strap and confirm the spring engages correctly, verifying absence of play.

Yes, provided they are constructed for 18mm lug width. We recommend materials of proven quality (alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf) to guarantee durability and aesthetic coherence with the case's manufacturing precision. Always verify dimensions before ordering.

Longevity depends on material composition, usage patterns and frequency of wear. Alligator or shell cordovan with vegetable tanning endure 5–7 years under daily use with proper maintenance. Standard calf lasts 3–5 years. Solar exposure, humidity and contact with perfumes accelerate deterioration. Periodic replacement maintains the Lady Serenade's presentation.
