Strap for Day-Date 36 Everose Domed / President / Pink Computer

The lug width of the Day-Date 36 118205f-0004 is 20 millimetres. This dimension is measured between the internal attachment points of the case, from the centre of one lug to the centre of the opposite lug. It is essential to verify this measurement before ordering an aftermarket strap, as 20mm is the only dimension compatible with this model.

For a Day-Date 36 in rose gold, alligator remains the most aesthetically natural choice: the geometric scales reflect light with discretion, creating harmonic dialogue with the case. Quality alternatives include vegetable-tanned calf leather (which develops noble patina over time) and shell cordovan (for elegant contrast). Rubber remains the conservative option for moisture resistance.

Changing the strap requires specific tools: a push-pin tool or a Teflon rod to push the attachment pins. Position the watch on a soft support, identify the direction of pin ejection (indicated by the small arrow on the case), and gently push the pin towards that direction until it ejects. Insert the new strap and reinsert the pin in the opposite direction until it seats fully. A rose gold watch deserves this operation performed with extreme care, ideally at a specialised jeweller.

Yes. Any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Day-Date 36 118205f-0004. MilanoStraps offers a dedicated collection for this measurement in noble materials: alligator, calf, shell cordovan, and natural rubber. Compatibility is guaranteed by lug width; perceived quality depends on material and artisanal craftsmanship.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator, calf, cordovan) subjected to regular use lasts between 3 and 5 years before showing significant wear. Alligator and cordovan, having denser fibres, tend towards 5 years. Vegetable-tanned calf, more permeable to moisture, may require replacement at 3–4 years if exposed to high perspiration conditions. Maintenance (water protection, light conditioning periodically) extends longevity. Casati Milano guarantees its straps for 18 months against manufacturing defects.
