Strap for Ode au Printemps / White Gold

The lug width of the WCF09TSEPRWG10AA-A is 22mm. This measurement represents the perpendicular distance between the integrated lugs of the case and is critical for compatibility with any aftermarket strap. A strap constructed for 20mm or 24mm will not fit correctly, creating unwanted play or risking damage to the case.

For this white gold model with tourbillon movement, fine-grained alligator represents the most balanced choice: it dialogues elegantly with the case's sophistication without appearing obsequious. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf offers an authentically evolving patina over time, whilst for sporty contexts FKM rubber or heavy-duty canvas NATO maintains visual proportion and functionality.

Strap replacement requires specific tools: a spring bar tool with end pieces designed to protect the case. Position the watch on a stable surface, gently insert the tool into the lower slot of the lug to compress the internal spring, and extract the pin. Repeat on the opposite lug, then insert the pins into the new strap following the same procedure in reverse. Work patiently to avoid scratching the case.

Yes, Milano Straps offers a dedicated collection of 22mm straps specifically engineered for watches with this lug width. All models are handcrafted and available in leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), NATO, and rubber. Compatibility is guaranteed by our Casati Milano partners, who operate with stringent manufacturing tolerances.

Leather strap durability varies depending on frequency of use, exposure to external factors (perspiration, humidity, UV rays), and quality of craftsmanship. A fine-quality alligator or calf strap, subject to regular maintenance (cleaning with damp cloth, occasional application of natural balms), can last 3–5 years of daily use. Replacement is non-invasive and maintains case integrity over time.
