Strap for LadyMatic Co-Axial 34 Stainless Steel / MOP

The lug width of the LadyMatic 425.33.34.20.55.001 is 17mm, a specification determined by the proportions of the 34mm case. This width must be measured with precision between the through lugs using a digital caliper or millimeter ruler. An undersized strap would create unwanted gaps, while an oversized one would not fit correctly into the lugs. Milano Straps guarantees a tolerance of ±0.5mm on all 17mm straps.

Alligator represents the optimal choice for aesthetic harmony: the natural grain creates a three-dimensional texture consistent with the satin finish of the case. Vegetable-tanned calf, on the other hand, offers a patina that develops naturally over time, creating chromatic dialogue with the steel. Shell cordovan ensures perfect rigidity and intense lustre, while an FKM rubber strap with leather keeper is ideal for sports contexts, reducing the overall thickness on the wrist.

The strap is changed by extracting the spring bars (lugs bars) that connect the bracelet to the case. Using a spring bar tool, release the internal spring of the first bar and slide the bracelet to free it. Repeat the operation on the second side. To insert the new strap, align the lug width to the lug holes and insert the bars, ensuring that the retention mechanism clicks properly. Avoid applying excessive force that could damage the delicate steel bars of the case.

Yes, any strap with a lug width of 17mm is compatible with the LadyMatic 425.33.34.20.55.001. Milano Straps offers a specialized collection of artisanal 17mm straps in alligator, calf, shell cordovan and technical rubber, all made with selected leathers and precise finishes. Compatibility is guaranteed by the standardization of lug width, although the total length of the strap may vary depending on wrist circumference.

A quality alligator or calf strap has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with daily wear, varying based on exposure to humidity, sweat and direct sunlight. Vegetable tanning develops a patina that increases aesthetic beauty over time, while the material maintains structural resistance. To extend longevity, avoid prolonged exposure to water and humidity, and apply a specific leather conditioner every 6-8 months. Milano Straps offers an 18-month warranty on all artisanal straps made by the Casati Milano atelier.
