Strap for Link Calibre 16

No. The bracelet is integrated into the case — there's no standard lug where a normal strap would attach. It's TAG Heuer's design choice, but it means that to change materials you need a bespoke strap made specifically for your watch. I craft it at the bench, shaping every detail to fit your case precisely.

You come to <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment only. I take measurements directly from your case, study the geometry of the integrated attachment, and design the strap as a one-off. Hand work, no shortcuts. It's tailoring applied to watchmaking.

Mississippi Alligator. A sports watch that carries elegance needs leather that ages with dignity and handles wear. Alligator offers that decisive texture, that suppleness that doesn't flatten, and after years still holds its shape. Right for someone who actually wears it.

It depends on use and how you care for it. With reasonable care — drying it when wet, removing it before bed — a good strap lasts 4 to 5 years, sometimes longer. The leather ages visibly and beautifully, marking time. When it's truly worn, you replace it. Not forever, but long enough to live with it.

It's design intent. TAG Heuer chose to integrate the bracelet into the case for structural rigidity and clean aesthetics. A bespoke strap respects that original intention while I adapt it to your wrist and your taste. Not a compromise — respect for the watch's design.
