Strap for Classic Date Lady 28.5 Stainless Steel - Rose Gold / Silver

The lug width of this model is 14mm. This measurement reflects the dimensional design of the 28.5mm case and determines compatibility with aftermarket straps. Always verify this measurement before purchase, as an incorrectly sized strap will not fit properly into the lateral pins of the lugs.

The choice depends on intended use. An alligator strap with French tanning enhances the elegance of the case; vegetable-tanned calf leather favours authentic ageing characteristics; a NATO strap in cotton allows chromatic versatility; a natural rubber strap ensures durability in aquatic environments. Milano Straps provides all these options in 14mm, customisable according to specific aesthetic preferences.

Remove the watch from your wrist. Using a spring bar tool, press gently inward to release the internal spring of the pin, then extract the strap from the two lateral lugs. Insert the new strap by aligning the two holes with the lugs, then snap the pin until you hear a locking click. The operation takes just a few minutes and requires no specific technical skills.

Yes, any strap with a 14mm lug width is compatible with this model. Milano Straps manufactures bespoke handcrafted straps in various materials: leather, alligator, shell cordovan, rubber. Always verify the lug width before purchase to avoid incompatibility.

A high-quality artisanal calf leather strap typically lasts 4-6 years with daily use. Ageing is natural and inevitable: the leather will tend to develop a patina, surface creases and material softening. This process imparts authentic character to the strap. To extend lifespan, avoid prolonged exposure to direct water and humidity.
