Strap for La Grande Classique Automatic 36 White Roman

The lug width is 20 millimetres. This measurement is taken between the two metal pins of the case from which the straps are attached. An incompatible strap will not insert correctly into the lugs and will compromise the overall aesthetic of the watch.

For the L4.908.4.11.2, we recommend a dark brown alligator with natural patina for formal elegance, or a vegetable-tanned calf leather for a more pronounced texture and superior durability. For sporting contexts, an artisanal canvas NATO or structured rubber strap maintains aesthetic dignity.

To change the strap, obtain a spring bar tool or consult a watchmaker. Insert the tip of the spring bar tool into the small hole of the pin from which the strap detaches, gently lift until the internal spring retracts, then extract the pin. Align the new strap's holes with the case lugs and verify correct engagement.

Yes, provided the aftermarket strap is 20 millimetres in width. Artisanal straps from Casati Milano or Milano Straps are crafted with meticulous leather selection and guarantee perfect compatibility. Always verify that the pins insert securely into the strap's holes.

A high-quality alligator or calf strap can last 3–4 years with daily use, up to 5–6 years with rotation among multiple straps. Durability depends on frequency of use, climate conditions and maintenance. Vegetable-tanned leathers develop fascinating patina over time, whilst rubber straps have superior durability but less aesthetic versatility.
