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.

How do I change the strap on the Certina DS Caimano C0172071605700?
The C0172071605700 features straight lugs with removable spring bars. Proceed as follows: tilt the dial downward to create space between the strap and case. Use a spring bar tool to carefully depress the right lug's spring bar, applying gentle leverage. Once depressed, remove the old strap. Align the new strap's passant hole with the upper lug, reinsert the depressed spring bar using the tool, and verify proper fit.
How long does a leather strap last on the Certina DS Caimano C0172071605700?
Leather strap longevity depends on tanning method and daily use. A high-quality vegetable-tanned alligator lasts between 3 and 5 years with daily wear and ordinary maintenance: avoid prolonged water exposure, apply natural wax twice yearly, and dry immediately if exposed to moisture. Box calf, more resistant to abrasion, lasts 4 to 6 years. NATO straps typically last 2 to 3 years. FKM rubber resists 3-4 years before elasticity degrades. Preventive maintenance significantly extends these intervals.
