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

The lug width of the LadyMatic 425.22.34.20.55.003 is 16mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two lugs and is essential for purchasing a compatible strap. It is advisable to verify the measurement with a caliper before ordering to ensure proper fit.

Alligator is the most refined choice for the LadyMatic, as its scale texture reflects light in a manner consistent with the mother-of-pearl dial. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf offers a patina that evolves over time. For summer practicality, a dark grey NATO or silk fabric maintains elegance while reducing maintenance.

The strap is changed using a spring bar tool, available online at low cost. Position the tip of the tool in the small slot beneath the lug, gently push upward to release the spring, and slide the old strap outward. Then insert the new strap, ensuring the spring is correctly seated. The operation takes approximately 2-3 minutes per side.

Yes, any strap with a certified lug width of 16mm is compatible with the LadyMatic 425.22.34.20.55.003. Milano Straps offers a complete collection of 16mm customizable straps in fine leathers such as alligator and calf, with 18-month warranty and bespoke options available at the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan depends on the material and usage. A quality alligator strap, worn daily, has a lifespan of 5-7 years before requiring replacement, thanks to the natural resistance of the scales. Calf offers similar durability but with a visible patina that develops progressively. NATO and fabric straps have greater longevity (8-10 years) but maintain lower elasticity. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
