Strap for LadyMatic Co-Axial 34 Red Gold / Diamond / MOP

The lug width of the LadyMatic 425.68.34.20.55.004 is 16 mm. This measurement represents the distance from the center of one tubular to the other, and is specific to this model. An incorrect measurement would result in unsuitable straps, with oscillation and loss of rigidity on the case. To measure correctly, place the watch on a flat surface and measure from the center of one tubular to the center of the other using a digital caliper.

For the LadyMatic in 18-karat rose gold, we recommend alligator in cognac or bordeaux tones: the natural grain texture harmonizes perfectly with rose gold, creating a unique chromatic dialogue. An excellent alternative is vegetable-tanned calf with a patina that evolves over time, or Japanese shell cordovan for those seeking natural lustre. We advise against synthetic straps, which would diminish the sophisticated construction of the watch.

Strap replacement requires removing the two tubular pins (the lateral metal pins) that hold the strap fixed to the case. Use a specific extraction tool—a steel implement with a fine tip—and proceed gently to avoid scratches on the lugs. Position the new strap on the tubular pins and reinsert the pins, verifying that the strap is perfectly perpendicular to the case. If you are not experienced, we recommend consulting a professional watchmaker to avoid damaging the watch.

Yes, the LadyMatic 425.68.34.20.55.004 is compatible with any strap in 16 mm lug width. Milano Straps offers an online collection of 16 mm straps in alligator, calf, cordovan and rubber, customizable in sizes, initials and stitching thread. For a complete bespoke experience, the Casati Milano atelier creates custom straps with direct leather selection, updates during production and 18-month warranty.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning and the intensity of use. An alligator or cordovan strap of excellence, with regular maintenance (gentle cleaning, protection from excessive moisture), lasts 5-8 years of daily wear. Vegetable-tanned calf, being more absorbent, requires greater care and typically lasts 3-5 years. The evolving patina is part of the strap's value. Milano Straps and Casati Milano provide an 18-month warranty on straps made with certified leathers and professional stitching, covering any manufacturing defects.
