Strap for Link Calibre 36 Automatic Chronograph Stainless Steel / Black

No, the bracelet is integrated directly into the case. The attachment is proprietary and a standard strap won't engage. This is the trade-off with the Link: architectural elegance, but no flexibility with off-the-shelf straps. In my atelier, I craft a custom strap by modelling the lugs directly onto your case.

Come to <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment. I take measurements directly from your 42mm case, studying how the links connect to the crown and back lug. Each attachment is hand-worked to respect the original geometry. It's not quick, but the result fits your specific case perfectly.

I prefer Mississippi Alligator for those who want to keep the Link in its refined athletic character: the fine grain supports the bracelet's sophisticated sportiness. If you're after a more casual reinterpretation, Tuscan Leather ages beautifully and develops a patina that dialogues well with the case's satin steel.

With a properly crafted strap, you're looking at 3-5 years of daily wear, then it depends on care. Tuscan leather or alligator need controlled humidity and occasional cleaning with a soft cloth. If you don't mistreat it, it ages gracefully and tells time more honestly than a new watch.

Since 1987, the Link has carried this duality: it's built like a sport watch, with robust links and a modular geometry that doesn't compromise. Yet the execution is refined, almost tailored. For me, it remains the best compromise between formal wearability and everyday durability. The custom strap amplifies exactly this quality.
