Strap for D-Star 200 Stainless Steel / Ceramic

The lug width (misura ansa) of the Rado Oval R15959152 is 20 millimetres. This dimension is model-specific and requires straps with lugs designed precisely for 20mm. Different widths (18mm or 22mm) are incompatible.

For the Rado Oval R15959152, an alligator strap in vegetable tanning, chestnut or ebony tone, is the primary recommendation, enhancing the contrast between the ceramic case and the natural patina of the leather. Alternatively, aged shell cordovan offers vintage-aware elegance, whilst a ballistic NATO ensures sporty versatility.

Strap replacement is accomplished by removing the spring bars located at the lug attachments. Use a dedicated spring bar tool to push the bar inward, releasing the strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the pins, then secure the bar. The procedure takes approximately 2-3 minutes per lug.

No, it is essential to select a strap specifically designed for 20mm lugs. Generic or approximately-sized straps risk accelerated wear to the lugs and accidental loss of the timepiece. On milanostraps.it you will find straps certified for this dimension.

A premium quality alligator or calf leather strap, with vegetable tanning, maintains structural and aesthetic integrity for 4-6 years with moderate daily wear (avoiding direct water and prolonged humidity). Shell cordovan, owing to its density, can last 6-8 years. Regular maintenance (cleaning, waterproofing) extends useful life significantly.
