Vintage Alligator Strap Cognac
The alligator doesn't age – it transforms. And cognac, among all shades, is the one that best describes this process: it starts warm, almost golden, and over time acquires depth and character. This Casati Milano genuine alligator strap follows that same trajectory.
The vintage finish is not an aesthetic artifice: it is a technical choice that softens the surface while maintaining the scale structure intact, recognizable, alive. On the wrist, you wear something that already has its own story – and that will continue to build one together with the watch.
The thickness progressively tapers from the case to the buckle, following the natural anatomy of the wrist. The result is a precise, comfortable fit without rigidity. Made in Italy, produced by Casati Milano.

Alligator doesn't wear down: it matures. The first months on the wrist soften its flank, light darkens the ridges just slightly, and the colour deepens. We treat it with neutral oils, no varnish to smother the grain: what you take home isn't finished, it's only beginning.

Frequently asked questions
What size is this strap?
20mm at the lugs, 16mm at the buckle. This is the only size available for this model.
How does the cognac colour change over time?
It starts out warm, almost golden. With wear, it gains depth and character. The scale pattern remains intact and recognisable: it is the leather that transforms, not an effect that fades.
Will it suit a watch with a large case?
The thickness tapers from the case to the buckle: 3.5mm near the case, 2.30mm at the buckle. It follows the wrist without stiffness, with a precise fit.
What colour is the buckle?
Two options: polished stainless steel or polished yellow gold. You choose based on your watch.
Can I have traditional spring bars instead of the quick release?
Yes, this can be done on request. Same price, about a week's wait. Could you confirm which strap you need this for?
