The Heritage
The strap for this watch is made to measure
On the Certina DS Caimano 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.

Which strap material is most suitable for the Certina DS Caimano C0172071103700?
For the C0172071103700, we recommend vegetable-tanned leather straps (alligator or calf) for formal elegance, Cordura NATO for sporting versatility, or FKM rubber for aquatic use. Cognac or deep brown leather amplifies the technical character of the dial, whilst navy NATO offers contemporary casualness.
How do I change the strap on the Certina DS Caimano C0172071103700?
The strap is changed by extracting the spring bars (pins) holding it in place. Use a spring bar tool with forked ends to compress the internal pin mechanism and slide it out from the lug housing. Insert the new strap's lugs into position and allow the spring bar to snap back. Handle with care to avoid scratching the case.
How long does a natural leather strap last on a timepiece like the C0172071103700?
A well-crafted vegetable-tanned leather strap typically lasts 3–5 years under moderate daily wear. Longevity depends on exposure to humidity, direct heat, and perspiration. Vegetable-tanned leather develops natural patina that extends visual lifespan. FKM rubber exceeds 7 years; Cordura NATO fabric resists degradation beyond 7 years.
