The strap for this watch is made to measure
On the Bulgari Octo 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.

What is the best strap for the Octo 101963 in pink gold?
For a pink gold watch, alligator in cognac or medium brown offers maximum aesthetic dialogue with the metal. Burgundy shell cordovan represents a premium alternative with unmatched natural patina. If you prefer daily versatility, vegetable-tanned calf in Havana brown ensures authentic ageing and formal compatibility.
How do I change the strap on my Bulgari Octo 101963?
The process requires quality spring bars (preferably 316L stainless steel) and a dedicated spring bar tool. Position the watch on a soft surface, locate the lateral case attachments, gently compress the internal spring with the tool, and slide out the old strap. Insert the new strap ensuring the spring clicks into position on both sides. If uncertain, Casati Milano provides professional strap change service by appointment.
How long does a natural leather strap last on the Bulgari Octo?
Durability depends on material and usage. Quality alligator (such as Milano Straps' selection) typically lasts 3-5 years with regular use and proper maintenance. Shell cordovan, more robust, can reach 5-7 years. Vegetable-tanned calf, more delicate, ranges between 2-4 years. Natural ageing is part of the leather's charm: expression creases and tonal shifts are desirable characteristics, not defects.
