Strap for D-Star Ceramos

The Rado Oval R15945103 features a 20mm lug width. This measurement represents the distance between the horizontal pins that connect the strap to the case lugs. It is essential to verify this measurement before purchasing a compatible strap.

The choice depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For maximum elegance, we recommend alligator or shell cordovan. For daily versatility, vegetable-tanned calf leather. For sportiness or water activities, NATO or technical rubber. All materials must feature a 20mm lug width.

Use a spring bar tool (strap removal tool). Position the watch on a soft surface, insert the sharp tip of the tool into the spring bar slot, lift gently and slide the pin out. Repeat for the second pin. Insert the new strap by reversing the procedure, ensuring the pins are fully seated.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is physically compatible with the Rado Oval R15945103. We recommend artisanal quality straps that respect the elegant proportions of the 38mm elliptical case.

An artisanal quality leather strap, with regular maintenance (cleaning and conditioning every 6-12 months) and normal wear, lasts 3-5 years. Factors such as climate, body moisture and frequency of use influence longevity. Vegetable-tanned leather ages beautifully, whilst synthetic leathers have shorter service cycles.
