The Ventura H24481131, seen from the bench

The Hamilton Ventura H24481131 is an iconic mid-century electric watch designed by Richard Arbib in 1957, featuring a distinctive asymmetrical triangular case. This legendary timepiece was famously worn by Elvis Presley in "Blue Hawaii" and represents a radical departure from traditional watchmaking. Milano Straps offers a bespoke strap solution through Atelier Casati Milano, with custom-fitted attachments hand-crafted to respect the unique angles of the original case using premium leather selections.

Frequently asked questions

Can I fit a standard strap on the Hamilton Ventura H24481131?

No, the bracelet is integrated into the case. The lug attachment is proprietary and a standard strap won't fit. For this model, I craft a custom strap directly in the atelier, shaped to the unique geometry of the case.

How does the custom strap work for the Ventura?

I work only at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment. I take measurements directly from the case and hand-craft the attachment, respecting the triangular case's angles. It's not assembly — it's millimetre-level craftsmanship.

Which leather do you recommend for the Hamilton Ventura?

I favour Swift for this model. The Ventura is sporty and futuristic — Swift, smooth and modern, speaks to that bold geometry without competing. If you want stronger contrast, Tuscan Leather ages beautifully and amplifies the case's sculptural character.

How long does a well-made strap last?

A well-crafted leather strap holds up for 4-5 years of daily wear, often longer with care. Good leather ages: it patinas, softens, tells time. Simple maintenance — occasional cleaning, cream in dry months — extends its life considerably.

Why is the Ventura so particular in its design?

Designed by Richard Arbib in 1957, it's the first electric watch in history and anticipated the space age with radically asymmetric geometry. The triangular case breaks classical watchmaking rules — it's a radical icon. Precisely because of this, it deserves a strap built to its proportions, not a compromise fit.

Can I change the strap in the future?

Yes. When you want a new strap, I return to the atelier and craft the next one to your case. The case shape doesn't change, so every future strap will be built with the same precision as the first.

The next step

The right strap isn't chosen. It is built, together.
