Strap for Constellation Quartz 27 Brushed Red Gold / Silver

The lug width of this Constellation is 18mm. This is the distance between the two case attachments where the strap fastens. This dimension is specific to the 27mm women's models and ensures proper visual and structural proportions.

Vegetable-tanned alligator is the formal choice par excellence thanks to its natural grain texture and the patina that develops over time. Wine shell cordovan represents the expert alternative for those who appreciate its soft handling and historic luster. Calf leather offers chromatic versatility for daily wear.

The change requires a specific tool to remove the spring bars (the pins that attach the strap to the case). Position the watch face-down on a soft cloth, insert the tool into the lateral spaces of the lug and compress the spring to slide the pin out of the groove. Repeat on the other side and proceed with inserting the new strap.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 18mm. Verify by measuring the distance between the two case attachments with a caliper. An 18mm strap will fit perfectly; different sizes (16mm, 20mm) will not sit correctly on the case and risk damaging it.

Durability depends on the material and use. Vegetable-tanned alligator typically lasts 2-3 years with regular use, developing a fascinating patina. Shell cordovan is more resistant and reaches 4-5 years. Rubber straps have longer durability (5-7 years) but lose elasticity over time. The Milano Straps warranty is 18 months from the strap change.
