Strap for Datejust 36 Rolesor Yellow Diamond / Oyster / Black Diamond

The lug width of the Rolex Datejust 36 116243-0025 is 20 millimetres. This dimension represents the distance between the two lugs on the case, where the strap attaches via spring bars. It is the most common lug width in classical horology and the most widely supported by the artisanal aftermarket strap industry.

For the Datejust 36 in yellow gold and stainless steel, we recommend alligator in vegetable tanning—which amplifies the warmth of the gold—or smooth calf leather in cocoa or chestnut tones. For versatility, a silk grenadine NATO maintains formal elegance; for robust daily use, FKM rubber offers extreme practicality. Choice depends on usage context and personal tactile preference.

Changing the strap requires a spring bar tool to compress the small pins that hold the strap to the lugs. Position the tool on the spring bar, press gently, remove the old strap, then slide the new one into place. If uncertain about the procedure, consult Casati Milano for personalized atelier service.

Yes, absolutely. The Datejust 36 with 20mm lug width is compatible with any artisanal 20mm strap available. Casati Milano straps are manufactured specifically for this dimension and guarantee construction quality equivalent to Rolex horological precision.

A premium leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan) worn daily lasts 4–6 years before visible wear appears. With vegetable tanning and hand-stitching, longevity increases significantly: patina evolves rather than degrades. Casati Milano offers 18-month guarantee on manufacturing defects and supports conscious leather ageing.
