Strap for De Ville Trésor 36 Stainless Steel / Green - Jasmine / Alligator

The lug width of the Trésor 428.18.36.60.10.002 is 18mm. This dimension represents the distance between the two spring bars that secure the strap to the case. It is a rare size in the contemporary market: most aftermarket straps are sized for 20mm (modern standard), so the Trésor requires specific and deliberate research for a compatible strap.

The choice depends on personal aesthetics and intended use. For a formal approach we recommend black or dark brown alligator with vegetable tanning: the pronounced grain dialogues magnificently with stainless steel. For those seeking natural patina, vegetable-tanned shell cordovan develops extraordinary color depth over time. French Chèvre calf represents a balanced solution: fine grain, visual sobriety, excellent susceptibility to hand conditioning. For more dynamic uses, FKM rubber or tactical NATO allow aesthetic neutrality.

Changing the strap on any watch with 18mm lugs (like the Trésor 428.18.36.60.10.002) involves removing the spring bars using a spring bar tool: apply gentle pressure to the center of the pin from the rear of the case until the internal spring is released, remove the old strap, insert the new one by aligning the holes with the pins. The operation requires no specialized skills but demands care to avoid scratching the case. Alternatively, Casati Milano provides strap change service with complimentary inspection.

The durability of a leather strap for the Trésor 428.18.36.60.10.002 depends on material and maintenance. High-quality vegetable-tanned alligator maintains optimal functionality for 4-6 years of daily use, while developing a desirable visual patina. Shell cordovan, thanks to its crystalline density, can exceed 7-8 years with minimal maintenance (periodic cleaning, drying). Casati Milano straps include an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and the staff provides free consultation on maintenance and natural aging of leather.
