Strap for Rendez-Vous Moon Pink Gold - Diamond / Blue / Serenity

The lug width of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous Q3522480 is 17 mm. This measurement, taken between the pins that fasten the strap to the case lugs, is specific to this model and cannot be altered. It is essential to verify this dimension when sourcing aftermarket straps, as a strap of different width will not fit correctly into the lugs.

For the Rendez-Vous Q3522480 in rose gold, alligator represents the most natural choice: the characteristic grain of the leather dialogues perfectly with the patina that rose gold develops over time. High-quality alternatives include vegetable-tanned calf leather, which enhances the formal purity of the case, or shell cordovan, whose natural lustre creates fascinating reflections with the rose gold. For versatile daily use, a NATO strap in silk or cotton allows frequent colour changes without compromising the integrity of the integrated bracelet.

To change the strap, you must remove the pins connecting the strap to the case lugs. These pins protrude from the lugs themselves and can be extracted using a dedicated tool (spring bar tool). Once the pins are removed, the old strap detaches easily. The new strap must have a 17 mm lug width to ensure proper fit. If you lack experience in watch maintenance, it is advisable to entrust the task to a specialised craftsman, such as those at Casati Milano, to avoid damaging the case.

Yes, you can use aftermarket straps provided they meet the 17 mm lug width specification. Artisanal straps crafted in alligator, calf, shell cordovan or other premium materials fit seamlessly with the timepiece, allowing you to personalise the watch whilst maintaining high quality standards. At milanostraps.it, a selection of 17 mm straps compatible with this model is available. Casati Milano also offers personalised consultation services and bespoke strap creation in their atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on frequency of use, climatic conditions and material quality. A strap crafted in high-quality alligator or shell cordovan, worn regularly, typically lasts 3-5 years before showing evident signs of wear. The leather develops a characteristic patina over time, which enhances its appeal. Factors such as humidity, sun exposure and perspiration accelerate natural ageing. Straps made with vegetable tanning tend to last longer than those with chromium tanning. Casati Milano provides an 18-month warranty on manufacturing defects for its artisanal straps.
