Strap for Day-Date 36 Platinum Diamonds / President / Meteorite

The lug width of the Day-Date 36 118346-0093 is exactly 20 millimetres. This dimension is proportionate to the 36mm case size and is the only compatible width for this model. Always measure the lug width at the narrowest point between the two attachment pins to ensure complete compatibility with any aftermarket strap.

For a platinum Day-Date 36, alligator leather remains the most elegant choice: its regular texture dialogues perfectly with the brushed surfaces of the case. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf offers exceptional softness and patination over time, whilst shell cordovan represents the choice for those who appreciate the highest quality and aesthetic evolution. Strictly avoid synthetics: platinum deserves authenticity.

Changing the strap on the Day-Date 36 requires removing the attachment pins that link the strap to the case. Use a dedicated spring bar tool to compress the internal spring of the pin and extract it from the seat. Proceed with caution to avoid scratching the platinum case. If you are not confident with this operation, entrust the work to a watchmaker or Casati Milano, which offers a personalised service with guidance on leather selection.

A high-quality leather strap—such as alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, or shell cordovan—typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use, depending on climate conditions and maintenance. Prolonged exposure to humidity reduces durability; periodic rest of the strap significantly extends its life. Casati Milano provides an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects and offers repair and leather regeneration services over time.
