Strap for Constellation Quartz 22.5 My Choice Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / MOP

The lug width of the Constellation 1262.70.00 is 20 millimetres. This specific width is calculated to maintain the correct proportions of the 22.50 millimetre case and ensure perfect fit with the integrated lugs in the model's iconic design. It is essential to verify this measurement before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

Black alligator or dark brown alligator represents the optimal choice for this model, as it enhances the contrast with the iridescent mother-of-pearl dial. A calf strap with vegetable tanning in cognac or hazelnut tones offers an elegant and versatile alternative. For everyday use, a structured rubber strap or technical fabric strap maintains the sporty character underlying the model.

To measure the lug width, use a digital calliper or ruler, positioning the tool between the two attachment points of the case. Measure the distance between the inner walls of the lugs: for the Constellation 1262.70.00, the result must be 20 millimetres. Always measure at multiple points to verify consistency.

Although the width is standard at 20 millimetres, the Constellation 1262.70.00 features integrated lugs with the Griffes design, which means the strap must fit perfectly without forcing. It is advisable to verify that the strap is specifically compatible with this model or to seek advice from the Casati Milano atelier for a customised solution.

The durability of a leather strap depends on the material and usage. An alligator or shell cordovan strap, with proper care, can last 5-7 years of regular use. A standard calf strap has a slightly lower longevity of approximately 3-5 years. Straps made to measure by the Casati Milano atelier include an 18-month warranty, which covers manufacturing defects and the first maintenance interval.
