Strap for Traditionnelle Hand Wound Bracelet

The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle reference 81575/V02G-9274 is fitted with an 18 mm lug width strap. This measurement is taken with a digital caliper between the two lugs of the case at the attachment point of the spring bars. All compatible 18mm straps are available at milanostraps.it.

For a 42 mm white gold case like the Traditionnelle 81575/V02G-9274, a regular grain alligator strap is the most coherent choice with the timepiece's DNA. Alternatively, smooth box-calf leather in midnight blue or cognac brown enhances the finishing without overwhelming the purity of the case. Casati Milano can craft both solutions bespoke.

The strap on the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle 81575/V02G-9274 is replaced using a fine-tipped spring bar tool, inserting it into the spring bar seat between the case lugs. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to protect the white gold finishing. For service on watches of this caliber, it is recommended to consult a qualified watchmaker or Casati Milano atelier.

Yes: any strap with an 18 mm attachment is technically compatible with the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle 81575/V02G-9274. Milanostraps.it offers a selection of artisanal 18mm straps in various materials and finishes, crafted to respect the proportions and aesthetic level of a fine watchmaking timepiece.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and daily care. A quality alligator strap, kept away from excessive moisture and periodically treated with specialized products, can last 3 to 6 years while developing a noble patina. Box-calf leather has an average lifespan of 2-4 years. Casati Milano guarantees 18 months against manufacturing defects on every strap produced.
