CODE 11.59 26665SG.ZZ.D209CR.01— lug 20mm

The reference 26665SG.ZZ.D209CR.01 is fitted with a 20 mm lug width, standard for the 38 mm CODE 11.59 family. For precise measurement, a digital caliper positioned between the two lugs at the narrowest point of attachment to the case is recommended.

Given the Sand Gold case with diamond pavé, smooth alligator in bordeaux or cognac represents the most coherent choice with the piece's DNA: the patina of the leather complements the permanence of the gold. Alternatively, black box calf for daily wear or sandy rubber for sports contexts. All options must feature a taper from 20 to 18 mm.

The strap is removed using a dedicated springbar tool with a fine tip inserted into the lateral hole of the lug. The curved geometry of the CODE 11.59 lugs requires a springbar tool with a flat, angled tip to prevent scratching the case. It is recommended to perform this operation on a soft pillow or microfiber cloth.

Yes. The reference features a standard 20 mm springbar, making it compatible with any aftermarket strap of the same width, provided the ends are finished to accommodate the slight curve of the CODE 11.59 lugs. Compatible 20 mm straps are available at milanostraps.it, with bespoke customization options through Casati Milano.

A quality alligator or calf strap, with regular use, has an average lifespan of 18 to 36 months. The factors that impact durability most are perspiration, direct water exposure, and frequency of use. Casati Milano straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects and are made with carefully selected leathers that develop an authentic patina over time.
