Strap for Link Automatic Chronograph Stainless Steel / Black

No, the bracelet is integrated into the case — the lugs are proprietary and a standard strap simply won't attach. I've seen too many customers disappointed on first attempt. The only way is to have a bespoke strap built directly in the workshop, modelled to your case.

You contact <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> to book an appointment on Via XX Settembre 15. I take measurements directly from your case, study the geometry of the lugs, and craft the strap terminal by terminal. Everything by hand, no shortcuts.

I prefer vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather. It's sporty, robust, ages beautifully against the satinised steel of the case, and the Link's character demands a leather that breathes with it — not a synthetic surface.

It depends on wear and care. A quality leather holds up for 4-5 years of daily use, sometimes longer if you clean it and let it breathe. Leather ages, develops patina, changes texture — this isn't a flaw, it's history you wear on your wrist.

Eddy Schopfer designed it that way in the '90s — he wanted 'S'-shaped links integrated with the case, not just a simple extension. It's a design choice, not a mistake. It means whoever chooses the Link accepts a certain complexity, but gains a watch where everything converses harmoniously.
