Chopard
L.U.C 161928-1001— lug 20mm

The lug width of the Chopard L.U.C 161928-1001 is 20mm. This measurement represents the internal distance between the two lugs of the case. It is essential to verify this dimension before purchasing a strap to ensure a perfect fit without excessive play or insertion difficulties.

The best strap depends on your intended use. For formal elegance, we recommend dark brown or black alligator with a tone that contrasts the white gold case. For refined versatility, cognac shell cordovan develops a natural patina that enhances the timepiece over time. For sport and practicality, a quality FKM rubber strap maintains the geometric sportiness of the 44mm case.

The strap is changed by removing the spring bars that attach the strap to the case lugs, using a dedicated tool (strap remover or appropriately sized small screwdriver). Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the lugs and reposition the spring bars. If you are not experienced, entrust the task to a certified watchmaker: Casati Milano offers this service with stylistic consultation on material and colour selection.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible. Reliable brands such as Hirsch, Barenia, Camille Fournet or specialised artisanal manufacturers offer certified quality. Ensure the strap is designed for sport-elegant cases of medium size and that the colour dialogues with the white gold. Customisable Italian craft straps from milanostraps.it guarantee Italian artisanal quality.

A quality leather strap (alligator, cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf) lasts 3-5 years with daily wear if properly maintained: avoid prolonged immersion, dry immediately after water contact, and occasionally apply a dedicated conditioner. The patina that develops is desirable and part of the character of the timepiece. Casati Milano straps include an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
