Strap for Métiers d'Art Ajourées Grey

The Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art ref. 82020/000G-9926 is equipped with a strap with a 20 mm lug width. To verify this measurement directly on the watch, measure the internal distance between the two lugs with a millimeter caliper at the point of attachment to the case, not on the outer edge.

For an 18-karat white gold case with an artisanal manufactured dial, the most suitable strap is smooth belly alligator, in black or midnight blue colors. Alternatively, a box-calf leather develops a characteristic patina over time that is consistent with the watchmaking craftsmanship of the watch. Casati Milano's bespoke craftsmanship allows you to personalize every detail, from the leather to the stitching to the buckle.

Strap replacement requires a special pointed tool — the springbar tool — to release the spring bars from the lugs. On a white gold case, it is essential to operate with caution and protect the case during the operation to avoid scratches. In case of doubt, it is advisable to entrust the operation to a watchmaker or request assistance from the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes. Any strap with a 20 mm lug width is technically compatible with this reference. Milano Straps offers a selection of 20mm straps in various materials and finishes, including artisanal bespoke options created by Casati Milano specifically for high-end watches like the Métiers d'Art.

A quality leather strap — alligator or box-calf — has an indicative lifespan of 2-4 years with regular use, varying based on exposure to sweat, humidity, and frequency of use. Casati Milano artisanal straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Rotating between multiple straps significantly extends the life of each one.
