Strap for Constellation Co-Axial 35 Stainless Steel / Black Clous de Paris

The lug width is 23 millimetres. This measurement represents the distance between the two pins that anchor the strap to the case lugs. It is essential to verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap, as even a 0.5mm deviation can create unwanted friction or play.

Genuine alligator remains the classic choice for this model, offering natural grain that dialogues with the rigorous geometry of the case. For those preferring a patina that evolves over time, shell cordovan from horse tail represents a fascinating alternative. Vegetable tanning is ideal for lower environmental impact and a primitive character that develops with use.

The change requires a specific tool: a spring bar tool (lever tool for suspension pins). Position yourself on a soft surface, insert the lever under the pin and push it towards the central body of the case until the spring compresses. Remove the old strap and insert the new one by aligning the pins in the appropriate holes. The operation requires delicacy to avoid scratching the lugs.

Any strap with a lug width of 23 millimetres is compatible. You can choose from alligator, calf, shell cordovan, NATO, rubber and various fabrics. All straps available in the milanostraps catalogue for the 23mm size have been verified to guarantee perfect compatibility with this Omega case.

Durability depends on the material and usage. High-quality alligator resists 4-6 years with daily wear. Shell cordovan is even more durable, reaching 6-8 years. Vegetable tanning evolves continuously but maintains structural integrity for 3-5 years. All artisanal straps from Casati Milano include an 18-month warranty and can be regenerated through reconditioning services.
