FAQ

What is the lug width of the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 ref. 236.050?

The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 236.050 is fitted with a strap featuring a 20 mm lug width. This measurement corresponds to the internal distance between the lugs at the case base and should be verified with a digital caliper to ensure perfect compatibility with any aftermarket strap.

What is the best strap for the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 236.050 in Honey Gold?

The alligator crocodile belly strap, with square grain and polished finish in cognac brown or black, is the most congruent choice with the formal vocabulary of this Honey Gold dress watch. Alternatively, a satin-finished burgundy or navy blue box calf offers contemporary registers of great elegance.

How do you change the strap on the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 236.050?

The strap is replaced using a thin-tipped spring bar tool, gently prying the spring bar lugs that connect the strap to the lugs. It is recommended to rely on a watchmaker or specialized atelier to avoid scratches on the Honey Gold case, a precious material that requires careful handling.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 236.050?

Yes, all straps with a 20 mm attachment width are technically compatible. On milanostraps.it you will find a selection of handcrafted 20mm straps in alligator leather, calf, and other materials, made with finishes and thicknesses suited to the curved lug geometry of the 1815. The Casati Milano atelier also offers a bespoke custom-made version.

How long does a leather strap last on an A. Lange & Söhne 1815?

A quality leather strap — alligator or box calf — typically lasts between 18 and 36 months with regular use, depending on exposure to sweat, water, and UV rays. Casati Milano straps are covered by an 18-month warranty for manufacturing defects. Proper rotation between two straps significantly extends its lifespan.
