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.

What is the best strap for the Rado Oval R15947153?
The best strap depends on usage and aesthetic preferences. For formal wear, we recommend natural alligator with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan, which develop a rich patina over time. For everyday versatility, high-quality calf leather offers comfort and durability. For a casual approach, cordura NATO or haute couture rubber straps are ideal for warm climates and quick changes.
How do you change the strap on the Rado Oval R15947153?
To change the strap on the R15947153, you need to remove the spring bars connecting the strap to the case. Using a dedicated tool (spring bar tool), gently press downward on one side of the spring to loosen it, then remove the old strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the case attachments and click the springs into position. Always verify that the springs are securely fastened before wearing the watch.
How long does a leather strap last on the Rado Oval R15947153?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, tanning method and usage. A high-quality alligator or calf strap with vegetable tanning can last 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Shell cordovan has superior longevity (5-7 years) due to fibre density. Leather develops a characteristic patina over time, making the strap even more appealing. To extend lifespan, avoid prolonged water exposure and apply specialist conditioner every 6-8 months.
