The lug width is 26mm, which is the distance between the two lateral pins on the case. This measurement is specific to this model and should not be confused with the case width. Always ensure that any aftermarket strap is explicitly designed for 26mm lugs.

An alligator strap with vegetable tanning represents the most harmonious choice: the rounded grain of the leather echoes the bevelled geometry of the case, whilst the patina that develops naturally enhances the vintage character of the model. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf or slate-grey NATO straps offer versatility whilst maintaining aesthetic coherence.

Remove the old strap by gently pushing the spring bar pin from the opposite side using a spring bar tool. Insert the pins of the new strap into the case lugs, verifying that they fit snugly without force. If you do not possess the necessary tools, Atelier Casati Milano offers replacement service by appointment.

Longevity depends on material and usage patterns. An alligator or shell cordovan strap with vegetable tanning typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, developing a desirable patina. Softer calf leather has a slightly shorter lifespan (2–4 years). Regular maintenance and conditioning significantly extend functional life.
