Strap for Lady-Datejust 28 Rolesor Yellow Fluted / Jubilee / White Roman

The Rolex Lady-Datejust 279173-0023 has a lug width of 14mm. This measurement is standard for all Lady-Datejust models with a 28mm case diameter and should be verified with a calliper on the internal distance between the two lugs before purchasing a replacement strap.

For the Lady-Datejust 279173-0023 in yellow gold Rolesor, a glossy alligator strap in cognac or a vegetable-tanned calfskin strap are the most coherent choices aesthetically. A matte alligator in black or deep navy offers a formal contrast for evening contexts. The 14mm lug width is critical when selecting a strap: artigianally crafted straps with 1.5mm spring bars are recommended.

To replace the strap on the Lady-Datejust 279173-0023, you will need a spring bar tool with a fine 0.7mm tip. Insert the tool into the lateral notch of the lug, compress the spring bar, and slide it out. Always work on a soft surface to protect the case. If you are not experienced with this procedure, it is advisable to consult a watchmaker or visit the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, maintenance habits, and intensity of use.

Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
