Strap for Reverso Classic Large Duoface Small Seconds Stainless Steel / Silver / Fagliano

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Q3848423 features a lug width of 20 mm. This dimension is proportional to the compact 28.30 mm case and ensures the aesthetic and functional balance characteristic of the model. Always measure the distance between the two lugs (case extensions) to verify strap compatibility.

For the Q3848423, we recommend supreme-quality alligator leather with vegetable tanning: its natural texture harmonises perfectly with Art Déco geometry. Hand-worked calf leather is a versatile and contemporary alternative. Shell cordovan is ideal for those seeking durability and evolving patina over time. NATO and rubber straps offer daily practicality for informal contexts.

To change the Reverso strap, use a spring bar tool to compress the springs anchoring the strap to the lugs. Proceed with care: the reversible case is a sophisticated mechanism and must not be forced. If uncertain, consult a certified watchmaker or Casati Milano's service, where you can follow the crafting process in real time.

Yes, any 20 mm strap is mechanically compatible. However, we recommend choosing a bespoke, hand-crafted strap: this ensures the keeper (the section encircling the wrist) is proportioned correctly and the buckle or deployant integrates without aesthetic compromise. Avoid generic straps: the Q3848423 deserves thoughtful visual narrative.

Longevity depends on the material chosen. Quality alligator or calf leather, subjected to vegetable tanning, lasts 5-7 years under normal conditions (daily wear without prolonged water exposure or intense perspiration). Shell cordovan can last 7-10 years due to its superior resilience. Periodic maintenance (gentle cleaning, seasonal conditioning) significantly extends longevity. Casati Milano provides an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
