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

The lug width of the Omega LadyMatic 425.68.34.20.63.001 is precisely 20mm. This dimension is measured between the axes of the two attachment pins parallel to the dial, not between the outer edges of the case. A common mistake is confusing this width with the diameter of the pins themselves (approximately 1.5mm). To verify correctly, use a digital caliper positioned perpendicular to the lugs: the value must read 20.00mm. Do not use 19mm or 22mm straps, as they would compromise the aesthetic balance of the case.

For the 425.68.34.20.63.001 in rose gold, 34mm, alligator remains the choice of excellence: its regular grain and tactile softness complement the golden refinement. Vegetable tanning is ideal for those who appreciate a natural patina that evolves over time. Box calf is a resistant and uniform solution, while shell cordovan amplifies the case's preciousness with its intrinsic lustre. Natural articulated rubber with deployant offers restrained sportiness for more dynamic everyday use.

The 425.68.34.20.63.001 features an integrated bracelet, not a standard one with external lugs. Strap replacement requires considerable precision: it is necessary to remove the attachment pins using a specialized tool (spring bar tool) inserted into the lateral groove. We recommend entrusting this operation to an expert watchmaker or to Casati Milano's service, which ensures correct alignment and prevents damage to the gold case.

Yes, provided it is constructed specifically for the 20mm lug width. However, not all 20mm straps are identical: the quality of stitching, leather resistance and accuracy of attachments vary considerably. A low-quality strap can scratch the rose gold lugs. Milano Straps supplies artisanal certified straps, with selected leathers and controlled workmanship, guaranteeing absolute compatibility and durability over time.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on maintenance, type of tanning and frequency of use. A quality alligator, with vegetable tanning, lasts an average of 4-6 years with daily use. Box calf resists for 3-5 years. Shell cordovan, thanks to its dense fiber, easily exceeds 5-7 years. To extend the strap's life, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme humidity and intense perspiration. The 18-month warranty offered by Casati Milano covers manufacturing defects; normal wear and accidental damage are not covered by the warranty.
