Strap for La Grande Classique Quartz 23 White Gold

The lug width is 12 millimetres. This dimension is non-standard and specific to the L4.191.7.72.2 model. To verify compatibility, measure the internal distance between the two spring bar attachment points using a ruler or calliper.

For the 23mm white gold case, hazelnut or warm brown alligator represents the most natural aesthetic choice. Shell cordovan is a recommended alternative for those who appreciate leather that develops patina over time. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf offers a more contemporary and refined appearance. In summer, premium canvas or vulcanised rubber present functional options.

Use a dedicated spring bar removal tool to gently compress the spring bar on both sides. The bar will release and can be extracted from the case. Align the new strap and reinsert the bar until it clicks into place. Verify that the bar is seated symmetrically. Avoid forcing to prevent case damage.

Yes, any strap designed with 12mm lugs is compatible with the L4.191.7.72.2. Milano Straps offers bespoke leather straps personalizable in material, colour and stitching thread. The Casati Milano atelier also creates custom bespoke straps, with personal leather selection and 18-month warranty.

A quality alligator strap has an average lifespan of 5–7 years with daily wear. Shell cordovan, thanks to its more resilient fibre, can last 7–10 years. Longevity depends on: frequency of wear, climate, body perspiration and maintenance. Milano Straps offers straps with 18-month warranty and can replicate custom-fitted replacements for future needs.
