Strap for Lady-Datejust 28 White Gold - Diamond / President / Pink Opal

The Rolex Lady-Datejust 279139RBR-0002 has a lug width of 14mm. This measurement is standard across the entire Lady-Datejust 28mm family and requires straps specifically manufactured for this spacing. Generic 16mm or 18mm straps are not compatible without modification.

For an 18-carat white gold case with a diamond-set bezel, the most suitable materials are vegetable-tanned alligator — which enhances the jewellery nature of the watch — and smooth calf leather for more versatile daily wear. A deployant clasp in white gold is recommended for visual coherence with the case metals and added wrist security.

The strap is removed using a spring bar tool inserted into the small hole on the inner face of each lug. The 14mm spring bar is compressed laterally to release from the case seats. It is advisable to rest the watch on a soft cushion and work carefully to avoid scratching the white gold case. If in doubt, entrust the operation to a watchmaker or visit the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes. Several artisan manufacturers produce straps compatible with the 14mm lug width of the Lady-Datejust. Milano Straps offers a dedicated selection with curved or straight ends suited to the 28mm Oyster case, in alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan and rubber. Always verify that the declared lug width is 14mm and that the end curvature matches the Rolex case profile.

A quality leather strap — alligator or vegetable-tanned calf — typically lasts between 18 and 36 months with daily wear, depending on exposure to perspiration, water and UV light. Longevity increases significantly by avoiding prolonged contact with water, rotating between multiple straps, and occasionally applying a conditioner formulated for vegetable-tanned leathers. Milano Straps straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
