Strap for Conquest Classic Chronograph

The lug width is 20 mm. This technical specification is essential to ensure complete compatibility with the strap. To verify, measure the distance between the two lugs of the case: it must be exactly 20 mm. A strap of smaller width would be insecure, whilst one of larger width would not fit in the available space.

For this rose gold case of 41 mm, we recommend vegetable-tanned alligator: its natural texture creates visual dialogue with the golden hue without competing in luminosity. Valid alternatives include shell cordovan for superior longevity and grip, or vegetable-tanned grained calf for those preferring a less formal yet noble appearance.

Use a thin flat-head screwdriver or a dedicated tool to remove the spring bars from the lugs. Insert the blade into the lateral hole of the spring bar, compress the internal spring slightly and extract the spring bar from the case. Repeat for the second spring bar, then position the spring bars in the new strap and reinsert them into the lugs. If you prefer to avoid risk of damage, entrust the operation to a professional watch repairer.

Any strap with a 20 mm lug width is compatible. On milanostraps.it you will find artisanal straps in alligator, shell cordovan, calf and other materials, customisable in sizing, initials and thread colour. For a premium experience, the Casati Milano atelier creates bespoke straps with 18-month warranty.

A natural leather strap with vegetable tanning typically lasts 3–5 years with regular use and correct maintenance. Durability depends on leather quality, frequency of use and exposure to moisture. Shell cordovan offers superior longevity (5–7 years) thanks to fibre density. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and saltwater to maximise durability.
