Strap for Glamour Date 31 Stainless Steel / Black-Diamond / Bracelet

The most suitable strap depends on intended use. For the model's dress-watch character, we recommend a polished alligator in tortoiseshell, pearl grey, or cognac tones, which enhances contrast with the steel case. For everyday versatility, calf leather in deep blue or black maintains formal elegance whilst adding practicality. For informal occasions, a NATO in melange grey or navy blue offers comfort without compromising overall aesthetics.

Strap replacement is accomplished via the spring bars connecting the strap to the case. Use a dedicated tool, such as a removal tool or appropriate wire, to gently press the internal release button of the spring bar. Lift the strap end and slide the spring bar out of the hole. Repeat for the other spring bar. For the new strap, reinsert the spring bars into the case lugs until they click into place. If you prefer to avoid DIY, Casati Milano offers strap change service at the atelier by appointment.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality, daily use, and maintenance. A high-quality artisanal strap in alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather guarantees a useful life of 3–5 years of regular wear, often longer. Patina and ageing are desirable characteristics, not defects. To extend durability, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct heat, clean periodically with a soft dry cloth, and store in a temperature-controlled environment. Artisanal straps crafted by Casati Milano include an 18-month warranty and are repairable at the atelier to extend their lifespan further.
