Strap for Constellation Co-Axial 38 Stainless Steel / Red Gold / Diamond / Brown

The lug width is 20mm. This measurement indicates the distance between the two attachment pins on the case. It is the fundamental parameter for selecting compatible straps. You can verify it with a digital caliper by measuring between the two lateral attachments at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock on the case.

It depends on the context of use. Black alligator or tobacco brown is the reference choice for formal elegance, enhancing the refined design of the two-tone case. Vegetable-tanned calf leather offers greater versatility and develops a highly personal patina over time. Shell cordovan guarantees superior durability and a vintage-contemporary aesthetic. NATO remains ideal for those seeking everyday dynamism.

The operation requires specific tools: a spring bar removal tool or dedicated pin tool. Place the watch with the pins facing upward, locate the small depression on one of the lateral pins, insert the tool and press gently to extract the pin. Repeat for the other side. Some artisanal straps feature leather loops that facilitate removal without tools. If you are not experienced, entrust the task to a professional watchmaker or contact Casati Milano atelier for technical support.

Yes, absolutely. The 20mm lug width is standard on many artisanal and industrial straps. Verify that the strap is specifically designed for 20mm lug width and that the attachments are curved, a feature that promotes adherence to the case. On milanostraps.it you will find catalogs dedicated to compatible 20mm straps, customizable in leather, color and stitch thread.

A quality artisanal leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) lasts on average 2–4 years with daily wear, provided regular maintenance is performed. Prolonged exposure to water, intense heat and UV rays shortens the useful life. Vegetable-tanned calf straps and shell cordovan age magnificently, developing a patina that increases appeal. Casati Milano atelier applies an 18-month warranty on all custom straps, covering manufacturing defects and premature wear.
