Frequently asked questions
What is the exact lug width of the Omega Constellation 123.20.35.20.52.002?
The lug width of the Constellation 123.20.35.20.52.002 is 17 millimetres. This measurement represents the distance between the two spring bars that attach the strap to the case and is essential for ensuring compatibility. It is important to verify this dimension before purchasing a strap, as even half a millimetre of error would result in an improper fit.
Which strap is best suited for the Omega Constellation 123.20.35.20.52.002?
Dark brown or black alligator represents the most eloquent choice, emphasizing the geometric elegance of the Griffes artigli and the contrast between steel and yellow gold. Vegetable-tanned calf leather is a versatile alternative that develops a natural patina over time. For more formal contexts, shell cordovan offers superior elastic properties and a refined appearance. NATO straps find application in casual settings.
How do you change the strap on an Omega Constellation with 17mm lug width?
To change the strap, you must remove the spring bars that attach it to the case. Obtain a spring bar removal tool or contact a professional watchmaker. Insert the flat blade of the tool into the small slot beneath the spring bar, exerting gentle inward pressure to release the bar from its seat. Extract the old strap and insert the new strap by snapping the spring bar into position. This operation requires precision: if you are uncertain, the Casati Milano atelier performs the change during a customization session.

How long does a leather strap last on a watch like the Omega Constellation 123.20.35.20.52.002?
The lifespan of a leather strap varies depending on the material, frequency of wear and care. Quality artisanal alligator or calf leather can last 3-5 years if worn daily, while shell cordovan is renowned for exceptional longevity, up to 7-10 years.
