Strap for Constellation Automatic 27.5 '95 Yellow Gold / Silver

Alligator in cognac or dark brown tones is the classic choice, with its natural texture creating a subtle dialogue with the gold. Alternatively, vegetable tanning offers an evolutionary patina that darkens over time. For formal occasions, smooth calf leather in black ensures absolute formal refinement. Vulcanized rubber in grey or black allows daily versatility without stylistic compromise.

Insert a flat tool (spring bar tool) under the lug of the old strap, then gently push inward to release the spring. Remove the old strap and insert the new one by aligning the end with the attachment, then press until you hear the spring click. Ensure the strap is fully inserted and does not oscillate laterally before wearing the watch.

The lifespan varies depending on the material and usage. An artisanal alligator or shell cordovan strap of quality has an average life of 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Vegetable tanned leather tends to last longer if subjected to regular care (cleaning with damp cloth, annual conditioning). Vulcanized rubber lasts 2-4 years before losing elasticity. Casati Milano atelier offers an 18-month warranty on custom straps and post-sale assistance for any repairs.
