Strap for Horological Machine N°6 Space Pirate HM6 RT

No, the lug attachment does not follow standard industrial straight-bar specifications; it is an integral part of the case design. A generic strap has no chance of proper adaptation. The solution is to have a made-to-measure strap built directly onto the watch—a procedure <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> performs through artisanal measurement and sequential prototyping.

The craftsman takes direct measurements of the watch, recording lug attachment points, angles, diameters and all geometric elements of the case with precision. Subsequently, the master selects the leather, discusses finish and colour with the collector, and builds the strap with sequential fitting until perfect adherence and proportion are achieved. It is co-creation between expert and owner.

The 60.RL.B calls for leathers with marked texture and visible grain: structured alligator, African kudu, cordovan in deep tones communicate with the audacious and biomechanical nature of the case. Saturated colours—black, burgundy, midnight blue—emphasise volumetric geometry. Natural tones also work when accompanied by incised grain that dialogues with the case's complex planes.

A strap crafted according to Casati Milano's artisanal standards—selected leather, hand-executed stitching, quality buckles and hardware—endures years of daily wear, developing patina and character over time. Longevity depends on maintenance: protection from extreme humidity, regular cleaning and proper storage ensure decades of reliability.

The absence of removable lugs is a radical stylistic choice: the 50mm case in titanium and red gold is conceived as a unitary sculpture, where every element—including strap attachment points—is integrated into the overall design. This rejection of industrial modularity reflects MB&F's philosophy of creative freedom and watchmaking as three-dimensional art.
