Strap for Cosmograph Daytona Rolesor / Champagne Diamond

The lug width of the Daytona 116523-0055 is 20 mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two metal pins that connect the strap to the case lugs. A compatible strap must be specified exactly at 20 mm to ensure precise fitting without play or movement.

Hermès alligator represents the most refined choice for the Daytona, offering a natural grain texture that complements the brushed case finishing. For daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf leather develops authentic patina over time. For dynamic environments, an FKM rubber or NATO fabric strap provides maximum protection whilst maintaining the sports heritage.

The change is executed by removing the pins connecting the strap to the lugs. Use a spring bar tool to release the old strap, then insert the new one by aligning the pins into the case lug seats. It is recommended to have this operation performed by an expert to avoid damage to the case finishing.
