CODE 11.59 26393OR.OO.A348KB.01— lug 20mm

The lug width of the CODE 11.59 26393OR.OO.A348KB.01 is 20mm. This is the measurement to indicate when purchasing a replacement strap, whether for standard models or bespoke finishing. To verify it, position a digital caliper between the two lugs at the internal attachment point to the case.

For the rose gold version of the CODE 11.59, alligator is the most coherent choice with the case level: the regular grain of the scales enhances the manual finishes of the watch. A midnight blue or dark burgundy alligator highlights the warm tones of rose gold. For more sporty or summer use, technical rubber is the most functional choice without compromising aesthetics.

The CODE 11.59 strap is replaced using standard 20mm spring bars. You need a dedicated thin-lever opener—called a spring bar tool—to insert into the spring bar seat between the strap and lug to release it. The operation requires care to avoid scratching the rose gold surfaces. If you lack experience, it is advisable to consult a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes. Milano Straps produces aftermarket straps compatible with the CODE 11.59 26393OR.OO.A348KB.01, designed with 20mm lugs and a pre-curved profile to adapt to the specific curvature of the case. Available materials include alligator, calf, rubber, and NATO nylon. All straps are handcrafted and also available in bespoke version through the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, daily use, and care. A quality alligator strap, with regular but not exclusive use, has an average life of 2-4 years before showing significant signs of wear. Calf, being more porous, tends to degrade more rapidly in the presence of sweat or moisture. Milano Straps straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects. To preserve them, avoid prolonged water exposure and rotate between multiple straps.
