Strap for Métiers d'Art Florilège Renealmia

The Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art Ref. 82550/000G-9917 features an 18mm lug width. This measurement is taken with a millimeter caliper positioned between the two lugs of the case, in the strap attachment area. It is the native measurement of the model, proportioned to the 37mm white gold case.

For a white gold watch with a decorated artisan dial, a mississippiensis alligator strap with polished or semi-polished finish represents the most aesthetically coherent choice. Shades such as slate grey, midnight blue, or burgundy pair effectively with enameled dials. Box-calf leather is a refined alternative for those who prefer a patina that evolves over time.

The strap is removed using a flat-tipped spring bar tool, leveraging the spring bar that connects the strap to the case lugs. This is a delicate operation on a white gold case: it is recommended to place it on a soft cloth and, if you are inexperienced, to entrust the task to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier to avoid scratches on the lugs.

Yes. Any artisan strap with an 18mm attachment width is technically compatible with this model, provided that the lug depth is adequate. Milano Straps offers a selection of 18mm straps in various materials and finishes, handcrafted and compatible with the dimensional specifications of the Métiers d'Art 82550/000G-9917.

Durability depends on the material and use. A quality alligator strap, with regular maintenance and rotation with other straps, can last three to seven years while maintaining structural and aesthetic integrity. Calf leather tends to develop patina more rapidly but has comparable durability if not systematically exposed to humidity. Milano Straps offers an 18-month warranty on manufacturing defects on all handcrafted straps.
