Strap for Ventura Elvis80 Skeleton Rose Gold

No, the bracelet is integrated into the case. The lug attachment is proprietary and standard straps won't fit. For this model I build everything bespoke directly on the watch, shaping the attachment around the unique case architecture.

I work only at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment. I take measurements directly from the case, studying how the asymmetric geometry sits. Every attachment is handcrafted to integrate seamlessly, without forcing anything.

I favour Tuscan leather with vegetable tanning. This watch has a rock'n'roll and sporty soul – natural leather ages with character, developing patina over time. If you want to emphasise that avant-garde geometry, premium suede withstands daily use well and underscores the watch's rebellious character.

With a strap built using traditional methods, expect 5-7 years of daily wear. It depends on how you treat it: protect from prolonged rain, dry it if it gets wet, let the leather breathe. Tuscan leather especially improves with age – it becomes softer and the patina tells the story.

The Ventura was designed by Richard Arbib in 1957 as a total break from the round forms of classical watchmaking. That triangular asymmetric silhouette won't tolerate standard attachments. By building the strap bespoke, I respect the integrity of that form and let the watch remain what it is: a statement of style without compromise.
