Strap for Datejust 31 Rose Gold / Domed / Silver - Diamond / Oyster

The lug width is 16mm. This measurement is specific to the 31mm case and must be measured between the inner points of the case lugs using a precision ruler. Verifying this measurement is essential before purchasing any aftermarket strap to ensure correct mechanical compatibility.

Natural alligator is the most versatile and elegant choice. The natural grain texture and patina development over time enhance the warm tones of Everose. Shell Cordovan offers superior durability with its own characteristic lustre. For formal contexts, deep brown or black alligator creates impeccable aesthetic balance with the rose gold case.

This requires a specific tool (removal tool or lug bar). Place the watch on a soft surface, locate the spring bars connecting the strap to the lugs, and gently push the pin inward from one side to release it. Repeat on the opposite side. To refit, align the new spring bars with the holes and push until they click securely. If unfamiliar with the procedure, consult an authorised Rolex centre or a qualified watchmaker.

All straps with a 16mm lug width are mechanically compatible. The selection available on milanostraps.it features artisanal straps in alligator, shell cordovan, calf leather and rubber, crafted to exacting standards. Each strap is constructed respecting the precise proportions of Rolex lugs, ensuring perfect geometric fit without forcing or mechanical play.

With ordinary maintenance (periodic cleaning with soft cloth, avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight), an alligator or shell cordovan strap ensures a lifespan of 5-10 years with regular use. Natural calf leather requires slightly greater care and averages 4-7 years of service life. Vegetable-tanned leather typically ages visually more gracefully, developing character and patina over time. All Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
