Strap for Artelier Calibre 112 Stainless Steel - Rose Gold / Silver

The lug width is 23mm, an uncommonly specified dimension in the mainstream watch industry. This non-standard measurement distinguishes this model as a timepiece designed with refined constructive proportions. Always measure from the inside wall of one lug to the other, perpendicular to the watch case plane, to ensure strap compatibility.

A vegetable-tanned leather in deep brown or amber tones provides elegance without competing with the bicolor case. For premium construction, alligator in cognac brown or anthracite elevates the aesthetic register. Alternatively, English calf with natural patina or Bordeaux shell cordovan create refined chromatic dialogue. For versatility, a black FKM rubber offers adaptability across formal and casual contexts.

Position the watch case upward. Locate the spring bars connecting the lugs to the case. Using a specialized tool or strap change device, apply controlled pressure on the spring bar to release the old strap. Insert the new strap, ensuring the bars engage completely. Verify that the strap is dimensioned for 23mm to prevent mechanical play.

Yes, artisanal straps certified for 23mm lug width are fully compatible. Choose suppliers guaranteeing precise tolerances: every tenth of a millimetre affects fit. Avoid standard industrial straps, as 23mm specificity requires bespoke construction. Milano Straps offers a curated collection of 23mm straps in leather, NATO, and rubber, customizable per aesthetic requirements.

A vegetable-tanned leather strap of quality, with routine maintenance—regular cleaning, moisture drying, light protection—maintains structural integrity for 3-5 years. Premium materials such as alligator and shell cordovan can exceed 7-10 years, developing desirable patina. Lifespan depends on usage frequency, climate conditions, and protective treatments. Milano Straps provides maintenance guides specific to each leather type.
