Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Rolex Daytona 116518LN-0076?

The Rolex Daytona 116518LN-0076 has a lug width of 20mm, a standard measurement for 40mm Daytona chronographs. This dimension allows for compatibility with straps featuring the same 20mm passant thickness.

Which strap is recommended for the Daytona 116518LN-0076 with meteorite dial?

For the meteorite dial, we recommend dark brown or black alligator, or vegetable-tanned calf in cognac tones. Alligator accentuates the Widmannstätten pattern, whilst cognac calf creates harmony with the yellow gold case.

How do you change the strap on a Rolex Daytona?

Gently extract the lug spring (20mm pin) from both sides of the case using a dedicated tool. The worn strap releases, allowing the new strap to be inserted by aligning the passants with the case lugs.

Is an aftermarket strap compatible with the Daytona 116518LN-0076?

Yes, provided the strap has a 20mm lug width. Bespoke straps in alligator, calf, cordovan or rubber are fully compatible. We recommend specialised brands offering superior construction quality.

What is the lifespan of a natural leather strap?

A natural leather strap, with proper care, typically lasts 3–5 years. Vegetable-tanned leather ages better than chrome-tanned alternatives, developing rich patina. Avoid prolonged exposure to standing water and dry thoroughly after rainfall.

The next step

The right strap isn't chosen. It is built, together.

From the atelier appointment to delivery, every step is made for those who know that things done well take time. Rare leathers, one piece at a time, eighteen months of warranty.
