Strap for LadyMatic Co-Axial 34 Stainless Steel / Purple

The lug width of the LadyMatic 425.32.34.20.60.001 is 16mm. This is the distance between the pins that fit into the case lugs. It is essential to respect this exact measurement to ensure proper strap mounting and stable strap retention over time. Straps with lesser or greater width would cause instability or make mounting impossible.

For the blue lacquer dial with diamonds, we recommend black or cognac alligator, which enhances the refined femininity of the model. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned leather in natural brown tones develops a honey patina over time, creating an authentic vintage effect. Shell cordovan is the choice for maximum durability (over 10 years), while a NATO or FKM rubber strap offer practicality for everyday wear.

Changing the strap requires removing the pins from the case lugs. You will use a dedicated tool (pin removal tool or lug removal tool) to push the pin laterally until it comes out completely. Once removed, thread the new strap by aligning its ends to the lugs and reinsert the pins from the other side, checking that they click into place. If you prefer to avoid DIY, the Casati Milano atelier offers this service with utmost care.

Yes, absolutely. Any 16mm strap is compatible with the LadyMatic 425.32.34.20.60.001, provided it is made for this precise lug width. Milano Straps offers a collection of 16mm straps in various materials and colors, all customizable in length, initials and stitching type. The straps are quality certified and can be mounted by the customer with a standard tool.

Durability depends on the material and usage. An alligator with vegetable tanning lasts an average of 5-7 years with daily wear and ordinary maintenance (occasional cleaning and hydration). Shell cordovan, thanks to its superior density, easily exceeds 10 years. More delicate calf leather tends to show visible wear after 3-5 years. FKM leather and synthetic materials have durability similar to calf. The Casati Milano atelier guarantees 18 months on all custom-made straps, covering manufacturing and stitching defects.
