Strap for Constellation Quartz 22.5 '95 Yellow Gold / Silver

No. The bracelet is integrated into the case. There is no lug to insert a standard strap into. I've seen many owners search for workarounds: the answer is always no. The only option is to build a custom strap directly onto the watch.

Bring the watch to the atelier. I take the exact measurements from the case attachment points and study how the strap will sit with the griffes. Then I handmake it, by appointment at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>. It's the only way to honour the geometry of this timepiece.

I prefer Swift: it absorbs wear without complaint and ages with quiet elegance. This watch has a sporty-refined character—it doesn't suit straps that shout. Swift speaks the same language as the stainless steel case: understated, strong, genuine.

With the right leather and basic care—don't soak it unnecessarily, don't twist it—a strap lasts 5–7 years of daily wear. Then the fibres give naturally. What matters is that it ages beautifully: a Swift develops a wonderful patina, recording the time spent together with the watch.

Those are the griffes, born in the 1980s: they anchor the sapphire crystal to the case like precision talons. They're not decoration. They have both structural and aesthetic purpose. When I build a strap, I must ensure it doesn't cover anything that makes this model recognisable—it is its character.
