Strap for DolceVita 25.8 Quartz Stainless Steel / Black

The lug width of this model is 19 millimetres. This is a specific, non-standard measurement, so it is essential to verify strap compatibility before purchase. This dimension has been calibrated in proportion to the 28.50mm case diameter to ensure aesthetic and functional balance.

Mississippi alligator leather with vegetable tanning represents the most coherent choice from aesthetic and manufacturing perspectives: the characteristic grain and natural patina dialogue elegantly with the brushed steel case finish. Alternatively, Italian Tuscan calf leather with natural tanning offers contemporary sobriety, ideal for discreet ageing over time.

Strap replacement is accomplished by removing the spring bar from the lugs at the case. Use a dedicated spring bar tool to gently compress the spring without damaging it. Insert the new strap ensuring the spring bar is fully locked in the lugs. Alternatively, Casati Milano offers replacement service by appointment with leather selection guidance.

A vegetable-tanned leather strap, with ordinary maintenance (avoiding prolonged water exposure, periodic hydration), has an average lifespan of 5-7 years before replacement is necessary. Patina development and darkening over time are signs of natural ageing and do not constitute defects. Casati Milano offers 18-month warranty on all bespoke straps.
