Strap for Lady-Datejust 28 Stainless Steel Fluted / Grey - Roman / Jubilee

The Rolex Lady-Datejust 279174-0013 features a 28mm case with a lug width of 14mm. All aftermarket straps must have a 14mm attachment width to fit correctly between the lugs without play or excessive tension.

For the Lady-Datejust 279174-0013 in white Rolesor, an alligator belly strap in vegetable-tanned leather is the most coherent choice given the model's aesthetic. Cognac, bordeaux or bottle green tones complement the white gold case. Shell cordovan leather offers a distinctive natural patina, whilst vulcanised rubber is recommended for intensive daily wear.

Strap replacement requires a springbar tool inserted into the slot inside each lug. Compressing the ends of the spring bar releases the strap. The procedure requires no specialist skills but should be performed carefully to avoid scratching the case. A watchmaker or specialist atelier can carry out the swap at minimal or no cost.

Yes. Any strap with a 14mm attachment width is technically compatible with the Lady-Datejust 279174-0013. milanostraps.it offers a selection of handcrafted 14mm straps in various materials — alligator, calf, shell cordovan, rubber — both made to order and available off the shelf. The Casati Milano atelier also offers a fully bespoke service with direct leather selection.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality, care and usage. A high-quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, kept away from excessive moisture and treated periodically with a neutral conditioner, will maintain its structural and aesthetic integrity for 3 to 7 years. Shell cordovan, owing to its dense fibre structure, tends to last even longer whilst developing a characteristic patina. milanostraps.it provides an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
