Strap for Traditionnelle Haute Joaillerie

The lugs of the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle 82760/000G-9852 measure 18mm in width. To verify this yourself, measure the internal distance between the two lugs at the strap attachment point using a metric caliper.

For this 18kt white gold model, porosus alligator leather — either glossy or semi-matte — represents the most fitting choice, consistent with the dress-watch character of the Traditionnelle. Box-calf leather is an equally elegant tailored alternative. Both materials complement the white gold without compromising its formal character.

Strap replacement is performed using the spring bars located in the lugs. It is advisable to entrust this task to a watchmaker or specialized atelier such as Casati Milano to avoid scratching the white gold case. It is essential to use a springbar tool with a coated tip and to work with extreme care on polished surfaces.

At milanostraps.it you will find a selection of handcrafted 18mm straps in alligator, calf leather and other premium materials, made with profiles suitable for classic dress-watch timepieces.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, care, and frequency of use. A quality porosus alligator strap, with regular maintenance — kept away from water and direct sunlight — can last between three and five years while maintaining structural and aesthetic integrity. Casati Milano straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
