Strap for Datejust 36 Rolesor Everose Fluted / Jubilee / Pink Computer

The Rolex Datejust 36 reference 116231-0058 has a lug width of 20 millimetres. This measurement is the space between the two lugs of the case and is the reference value for selecting compatible straps. You can verify it by measuring with a digital calliper the distance between the inside of the two lugs.

For a Datejust 36 116231-0058 bi-colour model, we recommend alligator in cognac or tobacco shades, which dialogues naturally with rose gold. Vegetable-tanned calf leather offers daily versatility with aesthetic ageing. Shell cordovan represents a contemporary alternative with pronounced character. The choice depends on intended use: formal, daily or sports.

Changing the strap on a Datejust 36 requires a dedicated tool (spring bar removal tool) and care. Position the watch on a soft base, locate the lugs, insert the tool into the lateral slot to compress the internal spring, extract the spring bar. Repeat on the other lug. Insert the new strap aligning the lug holes and repositioning the bars. If in doubt, consult a specialist jeweller.

Yes, any strap with a 20 millimetre lug width is compatible with the Datejust 36 116231-0058. Always verify that the overall length (top part + bottom part) is suitable for your wrist. Casati Milano straps are hand-crafted in Italian artisanship, ensuring constructive precision and superior material quality.

The durability of a leather strap depends on usage, material quality and tanning method. A high-quality artisan alligator or shell cordovan strap typically lasts 3-5 years of daily wear. Vegetable-tanned calf leather has similar longevity. Maintenance—avoiding prolonged moisture exposure, regular cleaning, rotating with other straps—significantly extends lifespan.
