Strap for Reverso Tribute Monoface Midsize Stainless Steel / Blue

The lug width of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Q716848J is 18 mm. This dimension is specific to this model and represents the ideal proportional relationship between the rectangular 24.40 mm case and the elegance of the strap. An 18 mm strap maintains the visual harmony of the original design without overwhelming the wrist.

For the Reverso Q716848J, we recommend high-quality alligator with natural grain texture, shell cordovan for those seeking tactile density and evolving patina over time, or satin English calf for maximum sobriety. Avoid casual fabrics such as NATO, which trivialise the watch's heritage. Ideal colours are dark brown, cognac, burgundy or black, which enhance the dial without competing with the case's geometric lines.

The Reverso Q716848J uses standard spring bar attachment. Using a dedicated tool, gently push the small spring towards the inside of the case to release one spring bar at a time. Remove the bar, take off the old strap and insert the new one, aligning it perfectly. Reposition the spring bar in its seat until you hear the click of secure fastening. If you prefer to avoid the risk of scratches, contact Casati Milano for professional strap changes.

Yes, any strap made for 18 mm lugs is completely compatible. On milanostraps.it you will find a curated selection of artisanal straps in alligator, shell cordovan and vegetable tanning, all available with 18 mm lug width and tested on this reference. Compatibility is guaranteed by the universal spring bar system.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator, cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 3-5 years with daily wear, depending on frequency of use and care. Leather requires protection from direct moisture and prolonged sunlight. With regular maintenance and replacement of worn keepers, longevity increases significantly. Casati Milano straps include an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects, regardless of natural wear.
