Strap for Constellation Quartz 24 Brushed Yellow Gold / Diamond / MOP

The lug width is 16mm, a standard dedicated to compact feminine Constellation models. This is the internal measurement between the attachments and determines compatible strap width. Verify it with a digital calliper positioned perpendicularly to the case.

For a model of such elegance in yellow gold, we recommend premium Italian leather such as vegetable-tanned calf or alligator, both of which develop a beautiful patina over time. For casual contexts, Horween cordovan or a beige linen NATO creates sophisticated contrasts. Avoid synthetics that clash with solid gold.

Use a spring bar tool with extreme care, inserting the tip into the lateral groove of the lug and gently lifting the elastic pin. Position the new strap by aligning the holes to the lug ends, then reinsert the pin. Proceed cautiously to avoid scratching the gold.

Yes, any strap with 16mm lug width is compatible. However, the integrated Manhattan bracelet of the Constellation is part of the watch's horological identity. A premium leather strap dramatically changes the character: from ceremonial jewellery to an elegant daily-use instrument.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, such as those crafted by Casati Milano, lasts 3-5 years with ordinary maintenance (air-drying after moisture exposure, avoiding prolonged salt water exposure). The patina that develops over time is desirable and increases aesthetic character. With intensive summer use, we recommend rotating with a second strap to extend longevity.
