Strap for Carrera Calibre Heuer 02 43 Rose Gold / Black Ceramic / Skeleton Alligator

The lug width of the CBG2050.FC6426 is 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two horizontal lugs that attach the strap to the case. To verify, use a digital caliper between the contact points: precise measurement is essential to ensure correct fitting of an aftermarket strap.

For the CBG2050.FC6426, we recommend dark brown or cognac alligator, which creates chromatic balance with the black ceramic and rose gold. Alternatively, bordeaux shell cordovan offers visual depth, whilst calf leather with vegetable tanning ensures aesthetic evolution over time. Choice depends on usage: formal, sporty, or daily wear.

Strap change requires two tools: a spring bar tool or specialised punch and delicacy. Identify the horizontal lugs at the case extremities, then gently extract the first pin by pushing it inward with the tool. Repeat for the second pin, remove the worn strap and align the new one with the lug holes, reinserting the pins with fluid movement. Avoid sudden blows that could scratch the ceramic case.

Yes, it is fully compatible. Verify that the strap has a 20mm lug width and that the ends (spring bars or terminal) adapt to case geometry. On milanostraps.it you will find 20mm straps specifically selected for this model, available in leather, NATO and rubber, customisable in size and details.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 3–5 years under moderate daily use. Wear accelerates with exposure to water, chlorine and direct sunlight. Straps made with vegetable tanning develop aesthetic patina over time, increasing perceived value. An 18-month warranty (such as Casati Milano) covers manufacturing defects and ensures support for spring bar replacement or structural adjustments.
