Strap for Kleine Da Vinci Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The lug width is 15mm, calculated as the distance between the pins that hold the strap. This millimetric tolerance is fundamental: a strap of different width would create visible misalignments between the case lugs and the strap itself, altering the purity of the design aesthetic.

Alligator represents the most natural choice: the unmistakable cross-grain dialogues with the case elegance without competing. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf or shell cordovan offer aesthetic depth. For contemporary use, a grey or navy blue NATO fabric maintains practicality and elegance.

Remove the watch from your wrist. Using a spring bar tool (specific instrument for removing pins), insert the tip under the pin from one side and gently push inward until the end is freed from the case hole. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap by aligning the pins in the holes and press until you hear the locking click.

Yes, provided they strictly respect the 15mm lug width. Milano Straps offers bespoke handcrafted straps in sizes, materials (alligator, calf, shell cordovan, NATO) and details such as initials and thread color. The Casati Milano atelier creates custom pieces with personal consultation and 18-month warranty.

A quality leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, shell cordovan) lasts 3-5 years with daily use, thanks to natural aging that increases its character. Vegetable-tanned leather, in particular, develops a unique patina over time. Longevity depends on frequency of use, sun exposure and maintenance (avoid prolonged immersion and harsh chemicals).
