Frequently asked questions
Can a standard strap be mounted on the MB&F Legacy Machines 02.RL.B?
No, because the strap attachment is an integral part of the case design and is proprietary, not following standard straight lug conventions. However, a bespoke strap is the correct solution: <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> constructs it made-to-measure on the watch, taking precise measurements of the attachment in the atelier and creating a strap that dialogues perfectly with the geometry of the case.
How exactly does the bespoke strap construction process work for this model?
The atelier receives the watch and analyzes the proprietary attachment in every detail, creating a precise technical survey of the geometry and curves. Subsequently, in dialogue with the client, it selects leather, color, and construction details (buckle, stitching, finishes). Construction takes place with the watch as a physical reference, ensuring a fit that no virtual measurement could achieve. The result is a strap that fully respects MB&F's design vision.
What type of leather is most suited to the character of the MB&F Legacy Machines 02.RL.B?
The rose gold case demands a noble leather that ages with dignity. Vegetable tanned leathers with marked natural grain, such as vintage full-grain or crocodile Hermès, reflect the constructive sincerity of the movement. A leather that develops patina over time parallel to the evolution of rose gold is ideal: it accompanies the three-dimensional character of the watch without competing with the visual complexity of the case.
How long does a well-made artisanal strap last?
A strap constructed with vegetable tanning and sartorial techniques can last decades, developing a patina that tells the story of its use. Longevity depends on leather quality, stitching, and care: it is an object that ages well, and can be regenerated with targeted repairs without losing its original character. For a watch of this caliber, it is the right investment.
Why did MB&F choose not to use standard lugs on this model?
The proprietary attachment is part of the three-dimensional and domed vision of the Legacy Machines 02.RL.B: MB&F refused to compromise the aesthetic integrity of the case by yielding to convention. The attachment was designed to maintain the purity of the case lines; the bespoke strap is the only completion coherent with this design principle, transforming an apparent limitation into an opportunity for artisanal customization.
