Strap for Constellation Co-Axial 27 Brushed Stainless Steel / Blue MOP

The lug width is 16mm. This dimension represents the distance between the two lugs (spring bars) of the case and is the fundamental parameter for selecting a compatible strap. Precise measurement with a digital calliper ensures a fit without mechanical play.

Alligator in vegetable tanning represents the premium choice, as its regular grain dialogue with the case's formal geometry. Alternatively, shell cordovan offers deep patina development over time, whilst vegetable-tanned calf provides daily versatility whilst maintaining high construction quality.

The change requires a specialized tool (spring bar remover or small flathead screwdriver). Position the watch on a soft surface, identify the insertion direction of the spring bars from the Omega marking on the case, gently extract the first spring bar, then the second. Insert the new strap by aligning one lug first, then the other, and slide the spring bar in the reverse direction. Avoid forcing that could scratch the case.

A high-quality leather strap, with vegetable tanning and artisanal construction, typically lasts 4-6 years of average daily use. Lifespan is influenced by climate (humidity accelerates deterioration), frequency of wear and maintenance (regular cleaning with a dry cloth, avoiding immersion). Milano Straps provides an 18-month guarantee on every strap produced.
