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 recommended for the Certina DS Caimano?
The Certina DS Caimano, given its dress-sport feminine character, pairs excellently with three strap families. Alligator leather with regular vertical grain and polished finish amplifies the elegant character, ideal for formal occasions. High-quality vegetable-tanned calf leather develops a beautiful natural patina over time. A NATO strap in cotton-polyester offers authentic sportive interpretation. Your choice depends on your intended use context and the aesthetic intention you wish to communicate through your timepiece.
What is the typical lifespan of a leather strap for the Certina DS Caimano?
The longevity of a leather strap depends upon material quality and usage conditions. Vegetable-tanned calf leather, subjected to ordinary wear (daily wear without excessive moisture exposure), maintains structural and aesthetic integrity for 4-6 years. Premium alligator leather may extend this interval to 6-8 years. Frequent exposure to direct sunlight, excessive humidity or perspiration reduces this timeframe considerably. The natural patina that develops is desirable; visible creasing, cracks or loss of elasticity indicate replacement necessity. Prudent maintenance habits—protection from intense rainfall and prompt drying after accidental water contact—significantly extend useful lifespan.
