Matte Mahogany Alligator Strap for Cartier Ballon Bleu
With its signature round case and elegant design, the Cartier Ballon Bleu exudes a timeless, universal appeal. It's one of those watches that has become a favourite among collectors and style enthusiasts alike. We are pleased to offer straps to fit the Cartier Ballon Bleu in all five case sizes: 28mm, 33mm, 36mm, 40mm and 42mm.
If you want to instantly class up your timepiece and get it ready for a dressed up occasion, pair it with an Alligator strap and you are ready. Our Alligator straps are made from genuine alligator hide, using the belly, tail and neck portions of the hide. Go with a handcrafted, Alligator strap and not some embossed pattern, because it isn't the same and you know it.
Note: Please select the case size of your Ballon Bleu. Each size comes with spring bars made for that case.
Note: Delugs is not affiliated with watch brands such as Cartier, and the strap was developed independently by Delugs. Intellectual property rights of watches, visuals, trademarks, names and logos belong respectively to each related watch brand.

Good to know
How do I know it will fit my watch?
Match the lug width — the first number in each size (the “20” in 20-16) must equal the gap between your watch lugs, in millimetres. Use our Strap Finder to look up your exact watch model, or the lug width guide to measure it yourself.
What if I pick the wrong size?
We offer easy returns and exchanges — reach out via our 24/7 live chat and we’ll sort it out. Use the strap length calculator before ordering if you’re between sizes.
Can I wear it daily? How does the leather age?
Yes — this is a daily-wear strap. Check the properties above for this leather’s water and scratch resistance. Full-grain leathers develop character with wear; structured leathers like Saffiano keep their uniform look.
Will I pay import duties?
It depends on your destination. Orders to the US, UK, EU, Singapore and Hong Kong are delivered duty-free — nothing extra to pay on arrival. For other countries, any duties or taxes are calculated and collected at checkout where possible; a small number of destinations may collect them on delivery per local customs rules.
Do I need tools or a watchmaker to fit it?
No tools needed. Every strap comes with quick-release spring bars fitted — slide the tab, drop the strap into your lugs, done.
