Strap for Portugieser Hand-Wound Eight Days 75th Anniversary Red Gold / Revolution

The lug width is 22mm. This is the internal space between the lug pins on the case. Measure the distance between the two upper pins with a digital calliper to ensure compatibility with your new strap.

For this 43mm rose gold watch, we recommend Mississippi alligator in Noir de Nuit or cognac brown. Alligator resists wear better, develops natural patina over time, and is aesthetically coherent with the watch's refinement. Alternatively, dark shell cordovan offers superior density and a chestnut tone that contrasts beautifully with rose gold.

Place the watch on a soft pad. Using a spring bar tool (small bifurcated implement), gently press the lower pin to release the spring holding it. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap's pins into the holes, verify alignment, and ensure the springs click into position. If unsure, entrust the task to a qualified watchmaker.

Yes, provided the strap is 22mm in lug width. Artisanal quality straps maintain the same compatibility as original straps. Verify that the new strap has adequate thickness to balance the weight of the rose gold case.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, cordovan) typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear. Longevity depends on: frequency of use, exposure to water and humidity, and maintenance (avoid prolonged immersion, dry after rain). Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month warranty and can be reconditioned or replaced.
