Strap for Cosmograph Daytona Everose / Chocolate / Oyster

The Rolex Daytona 126505-0005 has a lug width of 20 mm. This measurement is standard across the entire 40 mm Daytona range and ensures compatibility with a wide selection of aftermarket straps. To verify the measurement on your own piece, use a digital calliper positioned internally between the two lug horns.

For the Daytona 126505-0005 in Everose gold, the most suitable materials are vegetable-tanned alligator belly in cognac, tobacco or bordeaux tones, and black or dark brown box calf leather. Alligator enhances the warmth of the rose gold through its natural texture and the patina it develops over time. A rose gold deployant clasp ensures metallic consistency and maximum security on the wrist.

The strap on the Daytona 126505-0005 is secured to the lugs via standard 20 mm spring bars. To remove it, insert a spring bar tool into the lateral hole on the lug or between the strap and the case. The operation does not require specialist watchmaking skills, though it is advisable to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the rose gold case.

Yes. Any 20 mm strap with curved ends is technically compatible with the Daytona 126505-0005. For the best aesthetic result, it is preferable to choose straps with shaped ends that follow the profile of the Daytona lugs. Milano Straps offers a selection of handcrafted 20 mm compatible straps, available both bespoke and ready to ship.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, tanning method and daily use. A quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, with periodic conditioning (leather cream every 3–6 months), can last between 3 and 7 years while maintaining a presentable appearance. Perspiration and prolonged water exposure are the main causes of deterioration. Casati Milano provides an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects on all its straps.
