Strap for Constellation Quartz 24 Polished Red Gold / MOP

The Omega Constellation 123.50.24.60.05.003 has a lug width of 18mm. This dimension is specific to the 24mm model and represents the distance between the case attachment points where the strap is fitted. It is essential to respect this measurement to ensure a perfect fit without lateral play.

For the Omega Constellation 123.50.24.60.05.003 in red gold, we recommend an alligator strap in warm tones (cognac, burgundy, brown) that enhances the nobility of the metal. Alligator, with its natural grain and geometric texture, creates a perfect aesthetic dialogue with the case. Prestigious alternatives include vegetable-tanned calf or shell cordovan.

Strap replacement requires a specific tool (spring bar tool) to remove the lugs from the case. Position the tool in the groove of the lugs, gently push to compress the internal springs, and release the old strap. Insert the lugs of the new 18mm strap into the same attachment points and ensure they are fully locked. If you prefer, you can entrust the operation to a professional to avoid any risk to the case.

Yes, the Constellation 123.50.24.60.05.003 is fully compatible with quality aftermarket straps, as long as they respect the 18mm lug width. MilanoStraps offers a curated range of artisanal straps in noble materials (alligator, calf, cordovan) that fit perfectly with this model, with the possibility of customization and 18-month warranty through the Casati Milano atelier.

The durability of a leather strap depends on frequency of use, climatic conditions, and the type of material. A vegetable-tanned calf or alligator strap on a watch worn daily has an average lifespan of 3-5 years before requiring replacement. Shell cordovan, thanks to its natural density, can last even beyond 5-7 years. The patina that develops is part of the object's history and can be maintained through proper care and occasional water-repellent treatments.
