Jaeger-LeCoultre
Rendez-Vous 3612421— lug 18mm

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous 3612421 comes with a strap featuring an 18mm lug width. This measurement should be taken with a caliper between the two lugs, at the contact point with the strap, to ensure correct compatibility with any replacement strap.

For the Rendez-Vous 3612421 in rose gold, an alligator strap with belly grain in bordeaux, plum, or cognac tones is the choice most coherent with the piece's standing. Alternatively, box-calf leather in ecru or pearl gray tones offers a more contemporary look, always with a rose gold buckle or deployant to maintain metallic consistency.

Changing the strap on the Rendez-Vous 3612421 requires a fine-tipped precision spring bar tool to avoid scratching the rose gold lugs. It is recommended to work on a soft surface and to entrust the operation to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier, especially when using straps with a deployant buckle that require correct centering between the lugs.

Yes, Milano Straps offers a selection of 18mm aftermarket straps compatible with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous 3612421, made in alligator, calf leather, and rubber. Each strap is produced with thicknesses and proportions designed to respect the geometry of the original rose gold lugs, without altering the wrist silhouette.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and daily use. A quality alligator strap, with regular care and rotation with other straps, maintains its structural and aesthetic characteristics for 3-5 years. Calf leather has a slightly shorter average life, while vulcanized rubber is the material most resistant to moisture and perspiration. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on manufacturing defects for all straps made in the atelier.
