Daytona 116515LN-0018— lug 20mm

The lug width of the Daytona 116515LN-0018 is 20 millimetres. This dimension is standard for the model and determines compatibility with aftermarket straps. To verify the correct measurement, use a digital calliper to measure the internal space between the lugs. A 20mm strap ensures proper fit without lateral movement or excessive case compression.

For the 18k rose gold 116515LN-0018, we recommend natural alligator in a deep cognac tone, which enhances the warmth of the metal case. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers natural patina development over time. For sporting use, a natural canvas NATO strap protects the rose gold from perspiration. Avoid varnished leathers or artificial grains: the case deserves noble materials that age elegantly.

Strap replacement requires extraction of the spring bars from the seats housed in the case. Use a dedicated spring bar tool to avoid damaging the rose gold case. Insert the tool into the bar slot to compress the internal spring, remove the old bar, then insert the new one, ensuring perfect alignment. If you lack experience, consult a certified watchmaker or our Casati Milano atelier for professional replacement.

Absolutely. An artisanal 20mm strap, crafted from superior materials (alligator, natural calf, vegetable-tanned leather), enhances the rose gold case far more than a worn bracelet. The key is ensuring correct lug width and compatible seating depth.

Natural leather strap durability depends on frequency of use, moisture exposure, and tanning method. A quality artisanal alligator or vegetable-tanned calf resists 3–5 years of daily wear with basic care (avoid prolonged perspiration, protect from water). Leather develops natural patina during this period, increasing aesthetic value. We offer 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Beyond that period, a natural leather strap can be re-lined at our Casati Milano atelier at reasonable cost.
