Strap for Artelier Date Diamonds 31 Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The lug width of this Artelier model is precisely 14mm. This dimension is critical for strap compatibility: any replacement must respect this exact measurement to ensure correct mounting on the lug pins.

For a dress watch like the Artelier, alligator represents the optimal choice, thanks to its natural texture and formal character. However, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers a contemporary alternative with a patina that evolves over time. Cotton NATO straps are ideal for those seeking everyday versatility without aesthetic compromise.

Strap replacement requires a specific tool (spring bar tool) to compress the lug pins. Gently grasp the pin, compress it inward, and slide out the old strap. Insert the new 14mm strap over the pin and release slowly to ensure secure locking. If you lack the proper tool, Casati Milano offers replacement service by appointment.

Yes, any strap with a compatible 14mm lug width is mountable on this model. However, we recommend prioritising materials and finishes coherent with the Artelier's dress character: alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf leather ensure aesthetic harmony and durability over time.

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) subjected to moderate wear lasts approximately 3-5 years. Durability depends on frequency of use, moisture exposure, and maintenance care. Periodic application of natural balms and immediate drying after water contact significantly extend strap lifespan.
