Mido
Baroncelli M035.207.36.461.00— lug 18mm

The lug width of the Mido Baroncelli M035.207.36.461.00 is 18mm, measured from centre to centre of the lugs protruding from the case. This unconventional dimension requires conscious strap selection and ensures perfect optical proportions between the 33mm case and the strap.

The ideal strap depends on usage context and dial colour. For formal elegance, we recommend vegetable-tanned alligator or shell cordovan; for daily versatility, rigid-grained calf or cotton-polyester NATO; for hot climate and practicality, perforated rubber. Choice must respect the reduced proportions of the case.

Use a proper spring bar removal tool with flat shoulders to extract the spring bars from the lugs. Remove the old strap, insert the new one by aligning the bars into the case holes, ensuring the internal spring clicks correctly into place. Avoid pointed tools that could scratch the lugs.

Any strap with an 18mm lug width is compatible. Milano Straps offers a specialised collection of leather straps (alligator, calf, shell cordovan with vegetable tanning), NATO and rubber, all sized and customisable for your wrist. Casati Milano consultation is available by appointment for bespoke selection.

A strap in organic material (vegetable-tanned leather) typically lasts 5-8 years, depending on exposure to light, moisture and frequency of use. The patina that develops is desirable and part of the aesthetic character. A fabric NATO strap requires more frequent replacement due to mechanical wear, but is economical and practical.
