Strap for Tonda 1950 Sertie White Gold / Full Set / Alligator

The lug width (lug size) of the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PFC267-1264600-HA2121 is 18 millimetres. This measurement represents the distance between the two lug shoulders and defines compatibility with replacement straps. To measure correctly, place a ruler between the contact points where the lugs meet the case, avoiding the internal depth.

For the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PFC267-1264600-HA2121 in white gold, the ideal strap is alligator with vegetable tanning in cognac or tobacco tones, or shell cordovan. These choices maintain the artisanal coherence of the timepiece. Alternatively, fine-grained calf leather in pearl grey or deep black alligator offer aesthetic versatility without construction compromises.

To change the strap on a Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda, remove the lug pins connecting the strap to the case. Using a dedicated spring bar tool, push the small internal lever of the pin downward and slide the pin out. Once removed, insert the new strap from the opposite lug and reinsert the pin until you hear the locking click. It is advisable to perform this operation on a soft, stable surface.

Yes, any strap with an 18-millimetre lug width is fully compatible with the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PFC267-1264600-HA2121. The white gold lugs of the case perfectly accommodate 18mm artisanal straps, regardless of material choice (leather, rubber, NATO). Milano Straps offers a comprehensive selection of 18mm straps in various finishes and materials.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality and usage patterns. A high-quality alligator strap with vegetable tanning (such as those from Milano Straps) can last 3–5 years under regular wear conditions, with patina developing over time. Shell cordovan tends to last slightly longer. Factors such as humidity exposure, climate and frequency of use influence longevity. With proper maintenance—avoiding prolonged water exposure, cleaning periodically—the strap maintains excellent aesthetic condition for many years.
