Strap for Spring Drive Pink Gold / White / Bracelet

The lug width of the SBGA364 is 20 millimetres, measured from inside to inside of the space between the case lugs. This measurement is specific to the model and is essential for correct compatibility of any alternative strap. The measurement should be executed with a digital caliper for certified precision.

The ideal strap for the SBGA364 depends on usage and colour preferences. For daily elegance, we recommend vegetable-tanned calf leather in cocoa brown. For evening sophistication, an alligator in burgundy. For contemporary versatility, a calf leather in pearl grey. Shell cordovan is the choice for those seeking maximum longevity and structural integrity.

Strap change on the SBGA364 is accomplished by removing the spring bars that secure the original strap to the case lugs. Use a dedicated tool to lift the bars by compressing the internal spring, then extract the old strap and insert the new one, aligning it perfectly with the lugs. The operation requires delicacy to avoid scratching the rose gold case.

Yes, any strap with a 20-millimetre lug width is compatible with the SBGA364. However, choosing an aftermarket strap represents a conscious aesthetic decision: the integrated original bracelet is integral to the design project. High-quality aftermarket straps (alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan) can enhance the timepiece if selected according to one's personal aesthetic.

The lifespan of a leather strap varies according to material and usage. A vegetable-tanned calf leather has an average lifespan of 3-4 years with daily use. Shell cordovan, being more robust, reaches 5-6 years. Alligator leather positions itself at 4-5 years. The natural patina that develops is a sign of conscious usage, not degradation. Casati Milano guarantees 18 months on all artisanal straps.
