Strap for D-Star Plasma Automatic

The Rado Oval R15760112 features a lug width of 18 mm. This is the standard measurement for this model and ensures compatibility with the entire range of 18 mm aftermarket straps. To verify the measurement accurately, position a calliper on the internal distance between the strap attachment pins on the case.

The choice depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For formal elegance, we recommend alligator leather or vegetable-tanned calf. For everyday wear and sporty use, a reinforced canvas NATO or rubber strap is ideal. The ceramic case pairs particularly well with cognac or satin black leather, creating striking material contrast.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool (screw or lever type). Position the watch with the lug facing upward, insert the tool beneath the pin and lift gently until the internal spring releases. The pin will slide out of its seat. Repeat on the opposite lug. To fit the new strap, reinsert the pin through the lug holes, press until it clicks, and verify the lock is secure.

Yes, any strap with an 18 mm lug width is compatible with the R15760112. Always verify that the attachment pins are the correct length (typically 16–18 mm total, with 2–3 mm extending from the case). Milano Straps artisan straps are tested for this compatibility.

A quality leather strap, with moderate use and regular maintenance, typically lasts 3–5 years. Determining factors include exposure to moisture, perspiration, direct sunlight, and frequency of wear. Vegetable-tanned leather develops patina over time, whilst chrome-tanned leather maintains uniformity. Occasional cleaning and a water-repellent treatment significantly extend strap life.
