Strap for Excellence 18K Rose Gold / Silver

The lug width of this model is 22mm. This is measured as the distance between the two lateral lugs of the case. This measurement is essential for selecting compatible straps and ensures perfect fit without play or misalignment.

For a rose gold watch of this calibre, we recommend leather with vegetable tanning in cognac or dark brown tones. This choice respects the luxurious nature of the piece and develops a natural patina over time. Alternatively, genuine alligator or shell cordovan further amplify the register of discreet luxury.

The change is straightforward: place the watch on a soft surface with the caseback facing upwards. Locate the two lateral lugs of the case. Use a spring bar removal tool (or a thin screwdriver) to gently push the pin from one side to the other until it is released. Remove the old strap and insert the new one, reinserting the pins into the dedicated holes.

Yes, absolutely. Provided it is certified for 22mm lug width, any aftermarket strap is compatible. We recommend straps made by specialised artisans who guarantee construction quality and finishes consistent with the watch's level. Avoid overly thin straps or those with poor stitching.

A high-quality leather strap with vegetable tanning has a lifespan of 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Longevity depends on frequency of use, exposure to water and humidity, and care. Regular cleaning with a soft dry cloth and protection from excessive sweat significantly extend the strap's life.
