Zenith
Elite 18.2310.692/02.C709— lug 20mm

The lug width of this model is 20mm, measured internally between the anchor pins. This dimension is compatible with the wide range of aftermarket straps available on Milano Straps. To verify, use a digital caliper positioned perpendicular to the lugs: the correct tolerance is ±0.2mm.

For the Zenith Elite in rose gold, we recommend alligator in mahogany brown or aged smoked calf. These materials create controlled aesthetic contrast without competing with the case color. Alligator is the conservative formal choice; calf offers greater versatility and develops personalized patina over time.

The Zenith Elite uses simple pins (not quick-release) with 20mm width. Remove the pins using a proper tool or small steel lever, working from the underside of the case. Proceed with caution to avoid scratching the rose gold case. If you are not experienced, the Casati Milano atelier offers replacement service with personalized consultation.

Yes. The 20mm lug width provides access to quality aftermarket straps. Milano Straps offers customizable straps in sizes, leather colors, deployant or loop buckle styles, initials, and stitching thread. We recommend verifying the lug depth (10-11mm) before ordering to ensure complete compatibility.

A quality natural leather strap (alligator or calf) lasts an average of 4-7 years with daily use, depending on frequency of exposure to moisture and UV rays. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty on custom straps. Longevity increases with periodic maintenance: condition the leather with neutral creams and store the watch in dry environments.
