Strap for Automatic Deck Chronometer Pink Gold Grey-Silver

The lug width of the Leroy Marine Range LL201/6 is precisely 20mm. This measurement is critical for selecting a compatible strap: it is calculated by measuring the distance between the two attachment points on the case where the strap secures. An incorrect measurement would result in a strap that does not fit properly to the case, compromising both the aesthetics and functionality of the timepiece.

For a watch of this technical and aesthetic calibre, we recommend straps in natural alligator with evolving patina, or in shell cordovan with vegetable tanning. Both materials dialogue beautifully with rose gold, creating an elegant tonal contrast without visually competing with the dial. Swiss calf leather straps represent an equally dignified alternative, with greater tactile fluidity and capacity to adapt to the wrist.

For changing the strap on a luxury watch such as the Marine Range LL201/6, it is advisable to consult a specialized atelier such as Casati Milano. The procedure requires specific tools (spring bars or pin extractors) to avoid damaging the rose gold case. If you choose to operate independently, ensure you work on a protected surface and extract the pins with care, always supporting the case to prevent structural stress.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is dimensionally compatible with the Marine Range LL201/6. However, dimensional compatibility does not guarantee aesthetic excellence. It is essential to select materials and colours that respect the premium nature of the watch: we recommend avoiding straps in synthetic leather or low-quality fabrics, which would undermine the investment in the timepiece.

The lifespan of a quality leather strap depends on usage and tanning method. Natural alligator or shell cordovan with vegetable tanning, if subjected to regular maintenance (gentle cleaning, protection from excessive moisture), can last 5-8 years or longer, developing a patina that increases aesthetic value over time. High-quality calf leather has a similar lifespan. Synthetic or low-quality leather straps require replacement every 2-3 years.
