Strap for LadyMatic Co-Axial 34 Stainless Steel / Diamond / Blue MOP / Bracelet

The lug width of the LadyMatic 425.35.34.20.57.003 is 16mm on both sides of the case. This dimension is specifically calibrated for the female wrist and must be strictly observed in any aftermarket strap to ensure aesthetic alignment and mechanical stability of the spring bar.

For this elegant 34mm case, we recommend Nile alligator with regular texture, French calf with vegetable tanning and golden patina, or Japanese shell cordovan for greater durability. Avoid NATO and rubber, as they would introduce a technical note contrary to the dress-watch vocation of the timepiece.

Position the watch on a flat surface with the case face down, locate the spring bar holes on the lugs (at 3 and 9 o'clock), and use a spring bar tool to compress the pin and extract it gently. Repeat on the other side. For installation of the new strap, reinsert the spring bar by compressing the opening device until it engages in the opposite hole.

On milanostraps.it you will find a collection dedicated to 16mm straps ready for shipment, customizable in sizes, initials and stitching thread. The Casati Milano atelier also offers a bespoke service with personal selection of leathers and 18-month warranty.

A strap in quality alligator or artisanal calf averages 5-8 years of daily use, depending on exposure to moisture, sweat and mechanical stress. Shell cordovan maintains structural integrity longer (8-10 years) thanks to fiber density. Vegetable tanning tends to age better aesthetically, developing patina.
