Strap for Rendez-Vous Night & Day Black Strap

The lug width of the Rendez-Vous 3468490 is 14 millimetres. This dimension is specific to the women's models in the Rendez-Vous collection and differs from universal standards. Measurement must be taken perpendicularly between the lug pins using a digital calliper to ensure metrological accuracy when selecting a compatible strap.

Alligator leather represents the most harmonious choice for this model, as its fine, regular grain proportions perfectly complement the 34mm case. For those seeking patina development over time, vegetable-tanned leather offers notable chromatic evolution. Silk NATO is ideal for sport-elegant contexts, whilst FKM rubber satisfies the modern purist who values waterproofness and practicality.

The strap is replaced by removing the lug pins using a dedicated spring bar tool. Position the watch at 3 or 9 o'clock, apply gentle pressure to the pin until it retracts partially, then extract the old strap. Align the new strap with the lugs and reinsert the pin until the click engages. Always verify that the pin is fully locked before wearing the watch.

Yes, any strap with 14mm pin-to-pin spacing is compatible with the Rendez-Vous 3468490. Specialised brands such as Milano Straps, Hirsch, Everest and Napoléon offer certified solutions. We always recommend verifying that the strap does not exceed 24mm width at its widest point to ensure correct visual proportions on the case.

A quality leather strap, with vegetable tanning or alligator skin, typically lasts 3–6 years with regular wear. Duration depends on ambient humidity, frequency of use and care applied (prolonged sun exposure accelerates ageing). Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects; natural leather degradation is considered patina and falls outside the coverage.
