Strap for DolceVita 23 Quartz Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width is 17 millimetres. This measurement is specific to this model and ensures harmonious proportions between the compact case diameter (23mm) and the interface with the wrist. It is a non-standard dimension requiring dedicated straps for proper fit.

For this timepiece, noble leathers such as alligator, vegetable-tanned calf or shell cordovan are strongly recommended. Alligator is particularly suited to the fine grain that enhances the rectangular design; vintage calf develops a natural patina over time. For daily wear, rubber or NATO straps remain functional alternatives.

Changing the strap requires a spring bar tool. Position the watch with lugs facing upward, insert the tool into the gap between lug and case, press gently to release the spring pin, remove the old strap. Align the new strap holes and press the pin until it clicks into place. If uncertain, seek professional assistance.

Yes, milanostraps.it offers a dedicated collection for 17mm straps, customisable in size, colours, initials and stitching thread. All straps are tested to ensure mechanical and aesthetic compatibility with the DolceVita. Shipping is swift and quality is certified by specialist craftsmen.

A quality leather strap, with proper maintenance (gentle cleaning and protection from excessive moisture), lasts approximately 3-5 years with daily use. Shell cordovan and alligator offer superior longevity due to higher molecular density. Casati Milano guarantees 18 months on bespoke straps. Replacement remains simple and economical relative to the watch's value.
