Strap for Reverso Tribute Enamel Xu Beihong – The Standing Horse

The lug width of the Q39334B1 is 20 mm. This measurement is determined by the proportions of the case and the internal distance between the two metal lugs where the strap attaches. Any aftermarket strap must have this lug width to ensure a perfect fit without play or forcing.

For the Q39334B1 in white gold, the ideal strap is alligator: its uniform texture and deep colour (brown, black, grey) dialogue perfectly with the neutral tone of white gold. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers a versatile option that evolves over time, acquiring a unique patina. For a more sporty approach, shell cordovan delivers extraordinary durability whilst maintaining elegance.

To change the strap on your Reverso, remove the current strap by extracting the spring bars from the lugs using a spring bar removal tool. Insert the new 20mm strap into the lugs, ensuring that each spring bar is fully inserted and secured by both retention pins. If you feel uncertain, consult an authorised service centre or experienced watchmaker.

Yes, any aftermarket strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Q39334B1. However, we recommend choosing high-quality straps made from natural leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan): these materials reflect the sophistication of the watch and develop patina over time. Bespoke artisanal straps from Casati Milano guarantee superior construction quality and can be personalised according to your colour preferences.

A quality leather strap, if properly maintained, typically lasts 3–5 years of regular wear. Durability depends on factors such as frequency of wear, moisture exposure, leather type (alligator lasts longer than calf, shell cordovan is extremely durable) and preventative care. Vegetable-tanned leather improves with age, developing patina. With regular maintenance (cleaning, drying, occasional conditioning), you can significantly extend the life of your strap.
