Rendez-Vous 3448110— lug 18mm

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous 3448110 features an 18mm lug width. This measurement refers to the inner distance between the two lugs of the case and determines the compatible strap width. To verify it, simply measure with a caliper the space between the upper or lower lugs of the case.

For the Rendez-Vous 3448110, an alligator strap with polished or semi-polished finish is the most appropriate choice given the watch's formal character. Alternatively, box-calf leather provides clean styling for daily wear. The correct width is 18mm at the lugs, typically tapering to 16mm at the buckle.

The strap on the Rendez-Vous 3448110 is replaced using a dedicated spring bar tool, a flat-tipped instrument that compresses the ends of the spring bar — the metal bars that connect the strap to the case lugs. The operation requires care to avoid scratching the steel case: it is recommended to place the watch on a soft cloth and work with adequate lighting.

Yes. The Rendez-Vous 3448110 uses a standard 18mm spring bar, compatible with any aftermarket strap of the same width. Milano Straps offers a selection of 18mm straps in various materials — alligator, calf, NATO, rubber — handcrafted and compatible with this reference. It is important to verify that the curve of the strap lugs is also compatible with the lugs of this model.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the leather, frequency of use, and exposure to sweat and humidity. A high-quality alligator or calf strap, with alternating use, can last between 2 and 5 years while maintaining good structural integrity. The patina that develops over time on quality leathers is considered a positive aesthetic element. Milano Straps straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
