Bespoke strap for Royal Oak
Eight screws, an octagonal bezel and a bracelet that continues the case: since 1972 the Royal Oak has been designed this way, and the strap is the last thing one thinks of. Yet the maison itself fits it on leather, and a strap born on that case is another watch.

Three Royal Oak
The Royal Oak. The gold chronographs are also produced on alligator, with the AP folding clasp in the metal of the case; for all the others the maison holds alligator, calf and rubber in catalogue. The attachment is the same as the bracelet: the end of the strap must be built onto the profile of the case, between the two lugs, without gap. Your folding clasp is refitted when the attachment allows it.
The Offshore. Cases of 37, 42 and 44 millimetres, almost always on rubber. On some references there is a quick-release system: there the new strap is born on your attachment. On the others one proceeds as with the Royal Oak.
The Concept. Few pieces, cases from 39 to 44, attachments different from one another. Send a photograph of the back and we shall discuss it: if it can be done, we shall tell you how; if it cannot, we shall tell you at once.
The size
We do not ask you for it. The atelier's archive knows a thousand references between Royal Oak, Offshore and Concept, from cases of 33 millimetres to 44. From the reference engraved on the case back one traces the case; from the photograph, the attachment. The watch remains on your wrist.
The leather
Alligator with large or square scales, smooth calf, suede for days without a tie. The colours the «Grande Tapisserie» dial calls for: blue, green, black, tobacco for rose gold. Where it enters the case the strap is as thin as the link it replaces; at the wrist it returns to its thickness. The calf lining, the edges painted in several layers, machine stitching as standard or hand stitching with saddle stitch, by choice.
The time
Four, five weeks from confirmation. In the atelier in Via XX Settembre or by video call, wherever you are. Care for the first eighteen months is included.
The next step
The right strap is not chosen. It is built together.
