Strap for Da Vinci Perpetual Red Gold / Black / Italian

The lug width is precisely 19mm. This dimension is fixed and mandatory for strap and bracelet compatibility. It is measured by taking the internal distance of the case lug cavity from shoulder to shoulder of the spring bar passage.

To enhance the red gold, we recommend Nile alligator with vegetable tanning, which develops a noble patina and captures the warm light of the case. Alternatively, dark brown or black dress calf leather provides elegant contrast without stylistic discord. For daily wear, fine-textured rubber or dark grey NATO straps offer versatility whilst maintaining coherence.

Remove the lugs using a spring bar tool. Insert the tool's pin under the spring bar that connects the lug to the case, then gently extract. Replace the strap by aligning the new pins in the 19mm cavities and press until you feel a click. If inexperienced, consult a specialist to avoid damage.

Yes, any strap with a 19mm lug width is geometrically compatible. However, verify that the passant (the part inserted between the lugs) is not excessively thick and respects a maximum thickness of approximately 6–7mm to avoid creating tension on the case. Artisanal straps have controlled and specifically dimensioned thickness.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, vegetable-tanned) with daily wear lasts 3–5 years before requiring replacement. Longevity depends on sun exposure, humidity, frequency of use and maintenance. Rubber lasts 4–7 years. Casati Milano straps, guaranteed for 18 months, maintain superior constructive characteristics over the medium-to-long term.
