Saxonia 211.087— lug 20mm

The lug width of the Saxonia 211.087 is 20mm. This dimension is determined by the width of the white gold case and represents the exact distance between the two lateral lugs that support the strap. It is essential to verify this measurement with a digital calliper before ordering a strap to ensure mechanical and aesthetic compatibility.

For the Saxonia 211.087 in white gold, we recommend a strap in alligator or shell cordovan, both with vegetable tanning. Alligator offers a natural texture that balances the planarity of white gold; shell cordovan guarantees superior construction density and a patina that ages coherently with the metal. Avoid casual materials such as rubber or NATO, which are incompatible with the formal identity of the model.

The Saxonia 211.087 uses bayonet-type spring bars to attach the strap to the case. To change the strap: remove the watch from your wrist, position a spring bar remover under the spring, gently push downward to free the pin, remove the previous strap and insert the new one by aligning the holes with the pins. Operation recommended in natural light on a flat surface. If uncertain, consult a professional watchmaker.

Yes, numerous 20mm straps from specialist suppliers are compatible with the 211.087. However, it is essential to verify the depth of the lug width channel (keeper): the Saxonia requires a strap thickness between 3.0 and 3.5mm for a mounting free of play. milanostraps.it offers artisanal straps in alligator, shell cordovan and calf leather specifically dimensioned for this case, with 18-month warranty through the Casati Milano atelier.

A quality leather strap (alligator or shell cordovan with vegetable tanning) mounted on an A. Lange & Söhne has an average lifespan of 4–6 years under ordinary wear conditions (worn 3–5 days per week, no prolonged exposure to water and humidity). Replacement is recommended when signs of structural failure appear (deep cracks, keeper detachment) or functional deterioration (loss of fastening). Proper maintenance (air-drying after moisture contact, rotation with other straps) significantly extends service life.
