The Heritage
The strap for this watch is made to measure
On the Bulgari Serpenti 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 Serpenti 101828?
No. The Tubogas bracelet is integrated into the case: there's no conventional strap attachment. I've seen many owners look for one. In the atelier, I craft a bespoke strap directly onto your case's geometry, without modifying the watch.
How does the bespoke strap work for the Serpenti?
We work exclusively at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment. I take measurements directly from your case — the fluidity of the Tubogas can't be grasped from a distance. Every detail is built at the bench, for you.
Which leather do you recommend for this model?
I prefer polished Mississippi Alligator. It has the density to match the sensual, decisive character of the Serpenti — that sinuousness deserves a leather that doesn't flatten. Alligator ages beautifully; scratches become patina.
How long does a well-made strap last?
With conscious use, 5 to 7 years. It depends on how you treat it: avoid prolonged water exposure and keep it away from direct heat. A good leather, cared for, tells the story of time passing — and that story is part of its beauty.
Why does the Serpenti have an integrated bracelet?
It's a Bulgari construction choice rooted in history: the Tubogas, born in the 1940s, is a continuous tubular geometry requiring horological precision. A fixed bracelet preserves that sculptural integrity. When you change the leather, you start again from the true measure of the case.
