Strap for Constellation Co-Axial 35.5 Red Gold / Silver / 160 Years

The lug width of the Omega Constellation 111.50.36.20.52.001 is 18mm. This is the distance that separates the two lugs of the case. Any compatible strap must have exactly 18mm width to install correctly without damaging the delicate lugs.

Alligator remains the ideal choice for the Constellation 111.50.36.20.52.001 in rose gold: its fine and regular grain reflects the formal perfection of the watch. Alternatively, shell cordovan with vegetable tanning offers a patina that becomes more refined over time, creating a sophisticated aesthetic pairing. Vegetable-tanned calf is a versatile solution for those who desire seasonal rotation.

Use a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) to extract the lugs from the case lugs. Never use screwdrivers or sharp objects that could scratch the rose gold. Gently insert the new strap by aligning the leather holes with the lugs, then reinsert the lugs until the locking click. If you are unsure, consult a certified watchmaker.

Aftermarket straps offer greater aesthetic versatility compared to the integrated Manhattan bracelet.

A high-quality alligator or cordovan strap lasts on average 2-4 years with daily wear, depending on sun exposure, humidity and care. The leather should be cleaned regularly with a damp cloth and stored in a dry place. Vegetable-tanned cordovan, although more durable, still develops patina and requires maintenance. An 18-month warranty is standard for custom-made artisanal straps.
