Strap for DolceVita 23 Quartz Stainless Steel / Black

The lug width is 17mm. This dimension is specific to the L5.512.4.57.0 model and has been engineered to maintain visual harmony between the compact 23mm case and the strap. Always verify the measurement with a calliper before ordering an aftermarket strap.

Crocodylus niloticus alligator is the classic choice: regular grain, natural lustre, understated elegance. For everyday versatility, smooth or fine-grained calf leather offers superior comfort and distinguished aging. Shell cordovan is ideal if you seek exceptional longevity (over 20 years). For sustainability-conscious choices, vegetable-tanned leather combines aesthetics with environmental responsibility.

Use a spring bar tool to gently push the small internal lever of each pin outward. The pin will spring out naturally. Position the new strap, aligning the hole with the pin ends, and release. Never force: gentle, steady pressure is sufficient. If uncertain, consult a professional watchmaker.

Yes. All straps with 17mm lug width are compatible. Choose thickness (1.2–1.6mm) suited to your wrist and lifestyle. High-quality artisanal straps from Swiss or Italian makers preserve the case's aesthetic value and guarantee durability. Verify the case reference (L55124570) with your watchmaker.

Durability depends on material and usage. Smooth calf: 5–7 years of daily wear. Alligator: 8–10 years. Shell cordovan: 15–25 years. Vegetable-tanned: 7–12 years with maintenance. All materials require preventive protection (beeswax, water-repellent spray) every 6–8 months to slow oxidation and moisture penetration.
