Strap for Flagship 35.6 Automatic Stainless Steel White

The lug width is 18 mm. This dimension is specific to the Flagship L4.774.4.12.6 model and is essential for aftermarket strap selection, as it must fit perfectly into the lug slot of the case without lateral play.

To maintain the classic elegance and delicate proportions of the 35.60 mm case, an alligator, shell cordovan, or vegetable-tanned calf leather strap is recommended. Alligator offers regular grain and restrained lustre; shell cordovan develops patina over time; calf guarantees construction solidity with a less formal appearance.

The strap is changed using a spring bar tool or at a professional watchmaker. Insert the tool tip under the lug to compress the elastic pin, then extract the lug from the case. Repeat on the other side. The new 18 mm strap is inserted by aligning the lug with the hole and releasing the pin until it clicks into place.

Yes, any leather, rubber, or fabric strap with the correct 18 mm lug width is compatible. Milano Straps offers 18 mm straps online, customisable in material, colour, and tail length, with fast shipping and bespoke options at Casati Milano atelier.

A quality leather strap with certified vegetable tanning has a lifespan of 3–5 years with moderate daily use. Shell cordovan, being denser, can last 5–7 years. Longevity depends on exposure to sweat, humidity, and cleaning frequency. Casati Milano guarantees 18 months on its work and offers aged leather regeneration service.
