Strap for Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Quartz 36.2 Yellow Gold / Black

The lug width of the Omega Aqua Terra 2318.30.00 is 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two lugs of the case where the strap is inserted. It is essential to verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap to avoid incompatibility.

For the Aqua Terra in yellow gold, cognac or black alligator straps remain the most balanced choices, creating a harmonious dialogue with the noble case material. Alternatively, structured calf leather in dark tones or matte black rubber offer versatility for more dynamic contexts, maintaining aesthetic coherence with the blue dial.

The strap is replaced by removing the spring bars (the metal rods) from the lugs using a specific spring bar removal tool. By inserting the tool into the small slot of the spring bar, the internal spring is compressed and the strap is released from the case. The process requires care to avoid scratching the gold case. If inexperienced, it is advisable to consult a professional.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is technically compatible with the Aqua Terra 2318.30.00. However, high-quality artisanal straps, made with selected leathers and custom finishes, often offer superior aesthetics and durability compared to standard OEM straps, plus the possibility of unique customization.

A high-quality leather strap, if properly maintained, typically lasts between 2 and 5 years under moderate use conditions. Alligator and shell cordovan age better over time, developing a fascinating patina. Moisture and prolonged sun exposure accelerate wear. Casati Milano guarantees 18 months on all bespoke straps, with the possibility of periodic maintenance and replacement.
