Q: How long does a leather strap last on a daily-worn watch?

A quality genuine leather strap (calf, alligator , shell cordovan with vegetable tanning ) typically lasts 18-36 months with daily use and regular maintenance. Factors such as humidity, sun exposure, and water contact reduce longevity. Casati Milano straps guarantee 18 months of structural durability from delivery date, with partial replacement available at the end of the cycle.

Question 1

What is the lug width of the Omega Constellation 123.10.24.60.55.001?

Accepted Answer

The lug width of the Omega Constellation 123.10.24.60.55.001 is 18mm. This specification is essential when purchasing compatible straps: simply verify that your chosen strap has a width of exactly 18mm to ensure a perfect fit to the case lugs.

Question 2

What is the best strap for my Omega Constellation 24mm?

Accepted Answer

For the 24mm women's Constellation, we recommend elegant and sophisticated materials such as brushed calf leather (vegetable tanning), alligator, or shell cordovan. Avoid overly thick straps or raw rubber, which would disrupt the dimensional harmony of the case. For sports environments, a silk NATO strap is an elegant and functional solution.

Question 3

How do I change the strap on the Constellation 123.10.24.60.55.001 without damaging the case?

Accepted Answer

The 24mm Constellation features fixed lugs (not standard spring bars). Strap replacement requires precision: use soft tools (nylon screwdrivers or Teflon spatulas), work on a protected soft surface, and proceed patiently to avoid scratching the case. If you lack experience, we recommend entrusting the operation to a specialist watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.

Question 4

Can I mount a high-quality aftermarket strap on my Omega Constellation?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely yes. As long as the lug width is exactly 18mm, an artisanal strap of excellent quality enhances the wearing experience of your Constellation. Custom online straps and bespoke options from Casati Milano offer leather, color, and finish choices that the original Manhattan bracelet does not provide.
