Made to Measure

The strap for this watch is made to measure

On the Certina DS Podium 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.

FAQ

What is the typical lifespan of a leather strap on the DS Podium?

A quality alligator or calf strap (30–50 micron thickness) lasts 18–36 months under moderate daily wear in non-aggressive conditions. Degradation factors: persistent humidity, acidic perspiration, direct UV exposure. A vegetable-tanned calf strap visibly ages within 12–18 months, developing patina and chromatic subtlety, yet maintains structural integrity until 24–30 months. FKM rubber and NATO offer superior durability: 3–5 years under daily use. Maintenance: wipe with damp cloth every 2–3 months; apply leather conditioner (for hide straps) every 6 months.
