Alligator 21mm — Rolex Daytona and Day-Date

SIZE 21MM · ALLIGATOR

Louisiana alligator for discerning wrists. Compact, durable, ages well.

A Mississippi alligator strap for a 21mm watch is no minor choice — it’s the choice of someone who knows that the thickness of the leather matters. Its compact fibrous structure resists moisture, bends without breaking, and develops a sheen that intensifies over time. With saddle stitch and calfskin lining, it lasts twenty years. The CITES-certified, vegetable-tanned leather reacts to use: the color penetrates, it doesn't wear off.

A yellow gold Rolex Daytona pairs well with a cognac alligator strap and steel buckle. A Day-Date calls for glossy black. A GMT-Master II prefers midnight blue. Come to the atelier; we’ll choose the leather for your watch together — the strap is born there, not before.

Frequently asked questions

Which 21mm watches are compatible with an Alligator strap?

Rolex Daytona 116689, Rolex Day-Date 116688, Rolex GMT-Master II 116681. Also 116680 and 126619LB. Check your watch's lug before ordering.

Why choose Alligator for a 21mm watch?

Louisiana alligator has symmetrical scales and a regular texture — maximum distinction without ostentation. On a 21mm, the compact leather resists better and ages with lustre. Cognac, black or midnight blue pair naturally with sporty Rolex models.

How do I measure my watch's lug to check if it is 21mm?

Measure the width of the space where the strap fits — it is taken between the watch's two lugs with a calliper. 21mm is a Rolex standard for modern Daytona, Day-Date and GMT-Master II models.

How much does a 21mm Alligator strap cost?

From €210. The price varies according to colour, lining, buckle and custom configurations. Contact us for a personalised quote.
