Strap for Day-Date 36 Everose / Strap / Chocolate

The lug width of the Rolex Day-Date 36 118135-0003 is 20 millimetres. This dimension represents the space between the case lugs and is specific to this model. Correct measurement is achieved by applying a digital calliper to the inner portion of the lugs, where the strap seats.

Alligator represents the natural pairing for rose gold: the geometric texture of the leather suits the watch's constructive order, whilst the patina that develops over time harmonises with the evolution of rose gold. Shell cordovan offers interesting contrast, vegetable-tanned calf leather guarantees sobriety, and rubber straps ensure practicality without sacrificing elegance.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool. Position the watch on a soft surface, insert the tool's tip beneath the lug to compress the internal spring, extract the lug from the case housing, then repeat with the new strap. Contact Casati Milano if you prefer professional assistance.

Yes, provided the strap has been specifically constructed for the 20mm lug width. Verify that the lugs position without protrusion between the case terminals. Casati Milano straps are bespoke-crafted for this dimension and guarantee perfect visual alignment and mechanical security.

Longevity depends on climate, humidity, frequency of wear, and tanning quality. Casati Milano provides straps with an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
