Strap for Constellation Co-Axial 38 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Diamond / Champagne

The lug width of the Constellation 123.25.38.21.58.002 is 20mm. This measurement corresponds to the space between the two lugs of the case and determines the width of the compatible strap. To measure correctly, insert a flexible ruler perpendicularly between the lugs: precise measurement is essential to avoid incompatible purchases.

The most suitable strap depends on the intended use. For formal occasions, we recommend black or dark brown alligator with vegetable tanning: the natural texture amplifies the luxury of the two-tone gold-steel case. For everyday wear, a quality calf leather with developing patina offers accessible elegance. Shell cordovan in honey creates an extraordinary color combination with yellow gold, preserving sophistication.

The change is made using a specific tool (spring bar removal tool) to extract the tiny articulation pins from the lugs. Position the tool in the lateral spaces of the lugs, apply light pressure and the pin should slide out. Replace the old strap with the new one by aligning the holes and reinsert the pin. If you don't have the tool, a watchmaker will do it in a few minutes. Avoid forcing to prevent scratching the case.

Any strap with a 20mm lug width is physically compatible. Milano Straps offers a wide range of premium materials: alligator, Italian calf, shell cordovan, solid leather, Tropic rubber and NATO fabrics. All 20mm straps are customizable in length, color, initials and stitch types, ensuring perfect fit to your wrist and personal preferences.

A finely vegetable-tanned leather strap typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use, depending on frequency of use and climatic conditions. Italian calf can develop a beautiful aged patina. Shell cordovan excels in durability, often exceeding 7-10 years. The quality of vegetable tanning is fundamental: poorly cut or industrially tanned leathers deteriorate more rapidly. Milano Straps guarantees 18 months on custom Casati Milano straps, covering any manufacturing defects.
