Strap for Daytona White Gold Double Row Strap Paved

The lug width is 20mm, the standard specification of the modern Daytona collection. Measurement should be taken between the two attachment pins with a tolerance of ±0.1mm. This width ensures balanced proportions between the case diameter (40mm) and the visual thickness on the wrist.

Alligator leather with vegetable tanning represents the most refined solution, as the structured grain creates an aesthetic dialogue with the white gold and develops an authentic patina over time. Vegetable-tanned cordovan calf is an elegant alternative with smooth texture, whilst black rubber offers versatility and minimal maintenance.

The operation requires a precision spring bar tool to compress the lateral pins and extract the lugs from the case. Position the new strap between the pins, ensuring the lug passage inserts correctly into the tachymetre bezel. A specialised atelier such as Casati Milano performs this operation with professional tools without risk.

Yes, provided the width is precisely measured at 20mm (±0.1mm) and the lug passage thickness is less than 1.6mm. Quality artisanal straps maintain these manufacturing tolerances, guaranteeing smooth insertion into the lugs without play or friction.

An alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap, if properly cared for (avoiding excess moisture and protecting from perspiration), lasts 4-7 years in daily use. The patina that develops is a natural part of ageing. Rubber or synthetic fabric straps have variable durability (2-4 years) but require no specific maintenance.
