Strap for Constellation Quartz 24 Polished Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Silver

The lug width is exactly 18.00mm. This dimension is specific to this ladies' version of the Constellation and is incompatible with 20mm or 22mm straps. Measuring correctly is essential: place a flexible ruler between the two lateral lugs and read the value.

The ideal strap depends on your personal style. For a classic look, black alligator with vegetable tanning repels light and enhances the yellow gold case. Cognac or burgundy calf adds warmth and develops patina over time. Black rubber is a contemporary and practical choice, perfect for daily wear without losing elegance.

The strap is secured with two spring bars. Use a dedicated tool to compress the spring bar and slide it out from the case lugs. Then insert the new strap by aligning the holes and reinserting the bar, ensuring it is fully locked. Never force it to avoid damaging the lugs.

Yes, provided it is the correct lug width (18mm) and of construction quality appropriate for a luxury watch. Handcrafted straps in alligator, calf, or shell cordovan are compatible and often enhance the aesthetic experience, allowing color customization and thread choice compared to the original strap.

A quality leather strap, with handcrafted stitching and vegetable tanning, typically lasts 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Lifespan depends on sun exposure, humidity, and care. Periodic stitching inspection and the use of natural protective creams significantly extend the strap's life.
