Strap for D-Star White

The lug width of the Rado Oval R15519102 is 20 mm. This measurement is specific to the model and is essential for selecting compatible straps. You can verify it by measuring the distance between the two lugs of the case with a digital calliper, at the level of the original strap attachment holes.

The Rado Oval R15519102, with its high-tech ceramic case and minimalist design, pairs exceptionally well with fine-grain alligator straps, vegetable-tanned aged leather, or neutral-toned NATO fabrics. For a sporty-elegant approach, we recommend medium-brown alligator or black calf leather. Your choice depends on your usage context and dial colour.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool (a specialized device for lug pins). Position the tool in the lateral spaces of the lug, gently compressing the internal spring to release the pin. Extract the pin from the case, then insert the new strap whilst aligning it correctly, and reinsert the pin. If unfamiliar with the procedure, consult an expert at Casati Milano Atelier.

Yes. Any strap with a 20 mm lug width is compatible with the R15519102. Milano Straps offers a dedicated selection of 20 mm leather, NATO, and rubber straps, tested and ready for dispatch. We recommend verifying the lug width before placing your order to ensure correct compatibility.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality and intensity of use. A high-quality artisanal alligator or shell cordovan strap lasts 3–5 years with moderate wear, developing a fascinating natural patina. Standard calf leather lasts 2–4 years. Exposure to moisture, direct sunlight, and perspiration accelerates ageing. To maximise longevity, alternate your strap with other options during summer months.
