Strap for Lady-Datejust 28 Rolesor Yellow Fluted / Jubilee / MOP

The Rolex Lady-Datejust 279173-0013, fitted with a 28mm Rolesor case, has a lug width of 14mm. This measurement should be taken with a calliper at the inner side of the lugs, flush against the case, to obtain the correct dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

For the Lady-Datejust 279173-0013 with its mother-of-pearl dial and yellow gold bezel, the most suitable straps are vegetable-tanned alligator belly — in cognac, bordeaux or ivory tones — or shell cordovan for a naturally specular finish. The lug width is 14mm. A deployant clasp in yellow gold or gold-toned steel completes the pairing in a manner consistent with the case metals.

To replace the strap on the Lady-Datejust 279173-0013, a springbar tool is required to release the spring bars connecting the strap to the 14mm lugs. Insert the forked tip into the lug hole, compress the spring bar and slide the strap free. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the yellow gold or Oystersteel lug surfaces during the operation.

Yes. Any strap with a 14mm lug width and ends shaped for Oyster lug geometry is compatible with the Lady-Datejust 279173-0013. Milano Straps offers handcrafted straps in leather, alligator and cordovan specifically made for this width, with spring bars included. The full selection is available in the 14mm strap category.

A quality leather strap — vegetable-tanned alligator or shell cordovan — paired with the Lady-Datejust 279173-0013 has an average lifespan of 2 to 4 years with daily wear, depending on exposure to perspiration, water and UV light. Milano Straps handcrafted straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Rotating between two straps significantly extends the life of both.
