Strap for LadyMatic Co-Axial 34 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / MOP / Bracelet

The lug width of the 425.20.34.20.55.002 model is 17mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two lateral case lugs where the strap attaches. It is essential to measure this precisely using calipers to ensure strap compatibility, avoiding unsightly gaps or insertion difficulties.

Alligator in neutral tones (black, medium brown, pearl grey) is the most formal and harmonious choice. Vegetable-tanned calf offers a more articulated texture and develops a fascinating patina over time. For more casual daytime contexts, reinforced canvas or rubber maintains the elegant design. Shell cordovan is ideal for those who appreciate chromatic depth and lasting luxury.

Changing the strap on the 425.20.34.20.55.002 is a simple but delicate operation. Use a spring bar tool to push the small spring bars that hold the strap in the lugs. Position the watch on a soft surface, press the bar from one side until the strap loosens, then repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the bars and push until they click into position.

Technically yes, since the lug width is 17mm, but it is strongly recommended to choose straps specifically calibrated for luxury watches. Milano Straps are custom-made with superior quality leathers and refined finishing, ensuring a secure fit and aesthetics consistent with the sophistication of the LadyMatic. Generic aftermarket straps often feature unstable fastening or poor quality leather.

A high-quality natural leather strap, such as those from Milano Straps, has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with regular use and proper maintenance. Factors such as exposure to sweat, sunlight, and humidity variations affect longevity. To extend its life, it is advisable not to wear the watch during water activities and to clean the strap periodically. Milano Straps offers an 18-month warranty on custom straps from the Casati Milano atelier.
