Strap for Calatrava 5177G Falcon Head

The 5177G-024 is fitted with a lug width (or strap width) of 20mm. This dimension is specific to the model and ensures precise positioning of the strap between the lug terminals of the case, creating a seamless interface with the white gold casing.

Nilotic <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/alligatore">alligator</a> is the most harmonious aesthetic choice: its natural grain, delicate and regular, will never compete with the case's refined proportions. For formal daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf develops a patina that ages with dignity. Solutions in <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/shell-cordovan">shell cordovan</a> are also available for those seeking greater structure and natural lustre that emerges over time.

The strap is replaced via the spring bars that insert into the case lugs. We recommend using a specialised tool (spring bar removal tool) to avoid damage to the gold finishing. The process takes only minutes; however, if you are inexperienced, entrust the task to a certified watchmaker. Casati Milano also offers fitting service for straps ordered online.

Absolutely. A bespoke strap made to the specific 20mm lug width can significantly enhance your watch-wearing experience. What matters is that the strap is constructed from genuine leather, features invisible stitching (reverse side) and a <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/deployante">deployante</a> clasp in gold or titanium, maintaining material coherence with the case.

A high-quality, handcrafted leather strap lasts on average 2-4 years with moderate daily use. Longevity depends on leather quality, tanning method, UV exposure and perspiration contact. Vegetable tanning demands specific care (natural drying, protection from extreme humidity) but allows superior longevity. Casati Milano provides an 18-month warranty covering manufacturing defects.
