Cartier
Tank WGTA0067

The lug width of the Cartier Tank WGTA0067 is 19 mm. This is the distance measured between the two attachment pins on the case, perpendicular to the case edge. Any compatible strap must have precisely this width at the lug to fit without forcing and ensure uniform tension around the wrist.

Alligator in cognac or vegetable-tanned calf leather are the most harmonious choices with the 18k yellow gold of the WGTA0067. Alligator maintains the formal geometry already present in the dial, whilst calf offers a patina that improves over time. Both materials enhance the warmth of the metal without competing visually with the case.

The strap is changed by removing the lugs (the lateral pins) using a specific tool: a pin extractor or small spring extractor. Position the watch horizontally, gently push the pin inward from the opposite side until it exits. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the pins and reposition the lugs. To avoid risk of scratching the case, consult a specialist atelier like Casati Milano for this operation.

Yes, a strap in 19 mm produced by specialist manufacturers is completely compatible with the WGTA0067. Ensure the lug width is exact (19 mm) and the total length is sufficient for your wrist (typically 8-9 cm for the portion around the wrist). Superior quality leathers such as alligator or vegetable-tanned calf guarantee durability and a natural aesthetic transition with the gold case.

A high-quality natural leather strap, worn regularly, typically lasts between 3 and 5 years depending on daily use, moisture exposure and care. Noble materials such as alligator and vegetable-tanned calf age beautifully, developing a patina that can be appreciated even after wear. To extend durability, avoid prolonged contact with water and moisture, and consider rotating between multiple straps if you wear the Tank daily.
