Strap for La Grande Classique Quartz 29 Diamond Bezel

The lug width is 16.00mm. This dimension is specific to the L4.308.0.87.2 model and represents the standard construction specification. To verify it, use a digital calliper and measure the distance between the two holes where the original strap pins are seated.

Given the model's minimalist and sober aesthetic, leather straps in alligator, calf (vegetable or chrome tanned), or shell cordovan in shades of brown, black, or burgundy are recommended. For dynamic alternatives, NATO straps in cotton or linen offer practicality and quick changes. Butyl rubber is ideal for informal contexts.

The change is made by removing the pins connecting the case to the original strap. Use a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) or consult a jeweller. Once the lugs are freed, insert the pins into the new strap, aligning the holes. If the strap is artisanal, ensure it is hand-stitched and finished for durability.

Yes, provided the strap is custom-made for a 16mm lug width. Milan Straps artisanal straps are specifically designed for this reference and offer superior quality compared to generic replacements. Customisation in size, colour, and stitching thread ensures a tailored result.

A high-quality artisanal leather strap, with vegetable tanning, typically lasts 3–5 years of daily use, developing a patina that increases character over time. With regular maintenance (gentle cleaning, drying after moisture), longevity can extend further. Straps made by Casati Milano include an 18-month warranty and the option for regeneration upon request.
