Strap for Prestige Gold 21.8 Quartz

The lug width is 20mm. This measurement is essential for strap compatibility and must be verified with a calliper before ordering. The 20mm width is specific to this model and incompatible with 18mm or 22mm solutions.

For this compact yellow gold watch, we recommend genuine alligator in dark brown (cognac) tones, which dialogues superbly with the case. Shell cordovan offers exceptional durability and rich patina over time. Vegetable-tanned calf leather remains the most versatile choice for daily wear.

Strap change is accomplished through the spring bar on the lug. Using an appropriate tool (spring bar tool), apply gentle pressure to the internal spring until it releases, then extract the lug from the old strap. Repeat on the opposite side and mount the new strap ensuring the lugs are fully seated.

Yes, provided the lug width is strictly 20mm. Ensure the strap is made from quality material (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) and is compatible with your watch's lug width. MilanoStraps offers customisable solutions in sizing and thread colour.

Durability depends on material and usage patterns. Quality alligator and calf leather last 3–5 years with daily wear. Shell cordovan, thanks to its legendary robustness, exceeds 7–10 years. Vegetable-tanned leather tends to patina more rapidly, potentially requiring periodic maintenance with specialist products.
