The Heritage
The strap for this watch is made to measure
On the Bell & Ross Instruments the bracelet is drawn as part of the case: no catalogue strap will fit. In the atelier we take the measurements on the watch itself and build the strap on the piece — that is the work of Casati Milano.

Can you fit a standard strap on the Bell & Ross Instruments BR05A-BL-PG/SPG?
No. The bracelet is integrated directly into the case — there are no traditional lugs for a standard strap to attach to. I've seen many owners search for a quick solution and give up. For this watch, the only proper approach is to have a strap made bespoke, modelled to the precise geometry of your case.
How does the bespoke strap process work for the BR05A-BL-PG/SPG?
We work exclusively from <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment only. I hold your watch, measure the integrated lugs millimetre by millimetre, and build the strap directly on your case. We don't work from photographs or remote measurements — the detail is too important. Come to Via XX Settembre 15, and we'll complete it together.
Which leather would you recommend for this model?
Mississippi Alligator. This watch has a sporty yet refined character, and alligator makes that quality tangible: the texture is crisp, the finish ages with personality, and the deep colour speaks naturally with rose gold. I've seen dark Barenia work well too, but alligator is the choice I'd make.
How long does a well-made strap last?
Built with care and treated with respect, it will serve you for years. The fine leather we use ages beautifully, developing a patina that tells the story of your wear. I recommend keeping it out of excessive water and letting it breathe: a quality strap improves over time, just like the watch you're wearing.
Why does the Bell & Ross Instruments have this squared-off architecture?
It comes from Bell & Ross's aviation DNA — that geometry serves a purpose. The integrated lugs make the case visually more rigorous, but they require a strap made specifically for them. It's a design choice that accepts only bespoke work: which is why I always recommend <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> for this particular model.
