Aqua Terra 2564.75.00

For the 2564.75.00, alligator remains the most elegant solution, particularly in cognac or deep black tones, as it creates visual synergy with the teak dial. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers artisanal authenticity, while bordeaux shell cordovan guarantees superior mechanical resistance. The choice depends on intended use and the color palette you wish to emphasize.

Strap replacement requires specific tools: a spring bar tool and a protected work surface. Position the watch with the strap side facing upward, insert the tool into the small lateral hole of the attachment point, compress the internal spring, and slide the pin out. Repeat the operation on the opposite lug. For installation of the new strap, reverse the procedure: this operation requires care to avoid scratching the case.

The durability of a leather strap depends on the quality of the material, frequency of use, and exposure to weather elements. A high-quality alligator or shell cordovan strap can last 4-6 years with daily wear, while vegetable-tanned calf tends to age more rapidly (3-4 years), developing a natural patina appreciated by enthusiasts. Milano Straps straps include an 18-month warranty and can be restored through the Casati Milano atelier.
