Strap for Constellation Co-Axial 35 Stainless Steel / Red Gold / Grey

The lug width of the 123.20.35.20.06.002 model is exactly 20mm, measured between the case lugs. This dimension is specific to this Constellation model and is essential to ensure compatibility with any aftermarket strap.

For the Constellation 123.20.35.20.06.002, we recommend alligator with vegetable tanning (which develops patina over time) or calf leather thicker than 1.4mm. Both materials maintain the formal elegance of the two-tone red gold and steel case, while rubber and NATO straps would appear visually unbalanced on this classic model.

The integrated lugs of the 123.20.35.20.06.002 require the use of specific tools: a spring bar removal tool. Insert the tool into the hole under the lug, gently push to release the spring bar, and remove the old strap. For the installation of a quality replacement strap, it is advisable to consult an expert to avoid damage to the gold case.

Yes, any strap with a lug width of 20mm is compatible with the 123.20.35.20.06.002. Milano Straps offers a complete collection of customizable 20mm straps in fine leathers, with vegetable tanning, alligator, and calf options, available ready-made or made-to-order at the Casati Milano atelier.

A quality leather strap, with vegetable tanning, has an average lifespan of 5-8 years under normal use conditions. Shell cordovan can last 40-50 years. Durability depends on: water exposure, sweat, frequency of use, and maintenance. A technical rubber strap has a longer lifespan (10-15 years) but less aesthetic character compared to artisanal leathers.
