The Heritage
The strap for this watch is made to measure
On the Bulgari Bulgari Bulgari 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 Bulgari Bulgari 101868?
No, the bracelet is integrated directly into the case. A conventional strap has nothing to attach to. I've seen many owners give up on changing it for this reason. In the atelier I craft a bespoke solution: I work directly on your case, hand-modelling the attachment so your wrist breathes as it should.
How does the bespoke strap work for this model?
We work by appointment only at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>. I come into the atelier, take measurements directly from your case, observe how the leather needs to integrate with the original geometry. No approximation: every detail is tailored, built for you.
What leather do I recommend for a Bulgari Bulgari?
Mississippi Alligator. This watch has a sporty yet refined character, and I like alligator because it withstands wrist movement without flattening, retains its shape memory. Deep black or brown grain speaks well with the steel case, without competing with the dial's typography.
How long does a well-made strap last?
It depends on how you live with it. A quality leather, cared for, will accompany you for 4-5 years of daily wear. If you expose it to moisture without drying it, it ages faster. I prefer to see it patina naturally: minor creases are absorbed into the leather, your wrist's story remains etched.
Why does the Bulgari Bulgari have an integrated bracelet?
It's architecture. In 1977 Rome chose to engrave its own name on the bezel like an imperial signature. The integrated bracelet is not industrial: it completes that typographic gesture. The watch speaks for itself, it doesn't need subtitles. Changing it means betraying that idea.
