1. Best Overall — Orange Saffiano Stitchless Strap
Every watch needs a go-to strap, and for the A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange, this is it.
The Orange Saffiano Stitchless Strap uses saffiano leather — that signature cross-hatch embossed pattern you see on high-end bags and accessories. It is remarkably scratch-resistant and handles moisture better than most leathers, which makes it one of the most practical premium options you can put on a watch. At 2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
Paired with the A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange's distinctive dial, this strap adds a layer of personality that the factory option does not offer. The 10.5mm case thickness means a padded strap like this one feels proportional and substantial.
Once you see it on the wrist, it just clicks.

2. Best Dressy — Glossy Caramel Crocodile Signature Strap
There's dressy, and then there's refined. This strap lands squarely in refined territory.

The A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange's 40.5mm case is ideally proportioned for this strap. Whether you are wearing it casually or dressing it up, the combination feels intentional. It is the kind of pairing where both the watch and strap look better together than apart.

A Note on Buckle Colour
Quick but important: always match your buckle to your case. The A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange's 18k pink gold case calls for a gold buckle to match. All Delugs leather straps ship with a pin buckle and can be upgraded to a Spring Deployant Clasp for extra security and convenience. All Delugs straps come with quick-release spring bars pre-installed, so swapping straps takes seconds.
How to Change the Strap on Your A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange
Swapping straps on the A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange is one of the easiest upgrades you can make — and with Delugs straps, you don't even need a tool.
If your A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange came on a bracelet, you'll first need to remove it. The easiest way to do this at home is with a Bracelet Removal Tool, which lets you compress the spring bars without risking scratches to the lugs or caseback. Once the bracelet is off, you can slide your new Delugs strap straight in.
All Delugs straps come with quick-release spring bars already pre-installed, so changing straps is completely tool-free. Here's how:
- Prepare your workspace. Lay the watch face-down on a soft cloth or microfiber pad to protect the caseback from scratches.
- Release the spring bar. Locate the small lever on the quick-release spring bar. Pull it back with your fingernail or fingertip to compress the bar.
- Remove the strap. While holding the lever, angle the strap out from between the lugs. Repeat for the other side.
- Insert the new strap. Slide one end of the spring bar into the lug hole. Pull the lever on the quick-release spring bar knob, guide the entire spring bar into the opposite lug hole, and then release the knob. You should hear a small click when the spring bar extends and seats into the lug hole.
- Check the fit. Give the strap a gentle tug to make sure both spring bars are securely locked in. If there's any play, reseat the spring bar.
The entire process takes under a minute once you get the hang of it — no spring bar tool required. The A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange uses a standard 20mm lug width, and all Delugs straps in 20mm will fit perfectly.
