Strap for Lady-Datejust 28 Everose Fluted / Jubilee / White Roman

The Rolex Lady-Datejust 279175-0022 features a 28mm case with 14mm lugs. This measurement is specific to the Lady-Datejust 28mm format and should be verified using a digital calliper positioned between the two lugs at the strap attachment point. Adhering to this measurement is essential to ensure a precise fit with no lateral play.

For the Lady-Datejust 279175-0022 in 18k Everose gold, a smooth alligator strap in burgundy, plum or cognac tones offers the most coherent pairing with the warmth of the metal. Shell cordovan provides a compact surface with an evolving patina, while vegetable-tanned calf leather is preferable for everyday wear. For formal pairings, a rose gold deployant clasp is strongly recommended.

The strap on the Lady-Datejust 279175-0022 is removed using a fine-tipped springbar tool inserted into the lug hole to compress the spring bars securing the strap. Care must be taken to avoid scratching the Everose gold case: it is advisable to protect the lugs with soft adhesive tape and work on a padded surface. The replacement strap must be 14mm wide with correctly profiled ends compatible with the Oyster lug geometry.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning, frequency of use and level of care.

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