Made to Measure

The strap for this watch is made to measure

On the Rado Oval the bracelet is drawn as part of the case: no catalogue strap will fit. In the atelier we take the measurements on the watch itself and build the strap on the piece — that is the work of Casati Milano.

FAQ

Which strap is best suited to the Rado Oval R15947103?

The Rado Oval R15947103 achieves maximum aesthetic potential when paired with alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather straps. These materials amplify the sculptural geometry of the case and the natural patina of the Cermet. Alternatively, high-quality NATO fabric straps and technical rubber straps represent robust and versatile options for sporty and everyday contexts.

How do I change the strap on my Rado Oval R15947103?

Strap replacement requires a specialised spring bar tool or, alternatively, professional watchmaker assistance. Insert the tool beneath the metal pin connecting the strap to the case, applying gentle upward pressure to release the internal spring. Repeat from the opposite side, then align the new strap holes with the lugs and press until the spring bar clicks into place.

How long does a leather strap last on the Rado Oval R15947103?

Leather strap longevity depends on usage intensity, moisture exposure and mechanical wear. Under moderate use and routine maintenance—periodic cleaning and drying after water exposure—a high-quality strap in alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather maintains structural and aesthetic integrity for 18–24 months. Technical rubber straps offer greater durability, lasting 3–4 years without significant loss of physical properties.
