CODE 11.59 15210BC.OO.A002CR.01— lug 20mm

The reference 15210BC.OO.A002CR.01 is fitted with a strap with a 20 mm lug width. This measurement is taken as the internal distance between the two case terminals and determines compatibility with any replacement strap or custom craftsmanship.

For a white gold case like the 15210BC, the matte alligator strap with wide grain is the most coherent choice: the texture of the belly complements the worked surfaces of the case without competing. Alternatively, box-calf leather develops a unique patina over time, while vulcanized rubber is suitable for more sporty use.

The strap change on the CODE 11.59 is performed with a fine-tipped spring bar tool, leveraging the spring bars housed in the lugs. Given the curvature of the original lugs, it is advisable to rely on a watchmaker or specialized atelier to avoid scratches on the white gold case and ensure correct mounting of the new strap.

Yes, there are 20 mm aftermarket straps compatible with the CODE 11.59. A selection of 20mm straps in various materials and finishes is available on Milano Straps. For optimal fit on the curved lugs of the CODE 11.59, it is preferable to choose straps with curved ends or request bespoke craftsmanship from Casati Milano.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and the care with which it is treated. A quality alligator strap, used regularly, maintains its integrity for 2-4 years. Calf leather tends to patina more quickly but remains functional just as long if kept away from excessive moisture. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on manufacturing defects on all bespoke straps.
