Strap for Constellation Quartz 25.5 '95 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Diamond / Champagne

The Omega Constellation 1277.15.00 has an exact lug width of 18mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the lug pins, or the internal space where the strap attaches to the case. It is essential to verify this dimension before ordering an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect compatibility.

For the 1277.15.00, alligator represents the ideal choice in terms of elegance and proportion. The natural texture of alligator scales reflects the sophisticated geometry of the two-tone case and mother-of-pearl dial. Vegetable-tanned calf leather is also excellent, offering chromatic versatility and a patina that evolves over time. Shell cordovan imparts resilience and color depth, while NATO remains practical for everyday contexts without sacrificing overall elegance.

Changing the strap requires removal of the spring bars that secure the strap to the case. Use a dedicated spring bar tool to gently extract the pins from both sides, then insert the new strap by aligning the side holes with the pins. Reinsert the pins until they click into place. Given the compact 25.50mm case of the 1277.15.00, we recommend caution to avoid damaging the integrated bezel during the operation.

Yes, any strap with an 18mm lug width is compatible with the Constellation 1277.15.00, provided that the spring bars used are of the correct length (typically 16mm for this size). The case curve (straight or curved) of the strap should ideally match the case anatomy, though straight straps remain compatible regardless. Our 18mm straps are optimized for this category of watches.

The durability of a leather strap depends on the intensity of use and the quality of the material. A quality alligator or calf leather with vegetable tanning has an estimated lifespan of 3 to 6 years with daily wear, up to 8-10 years with intermittent use. Shell cordovan offers greater longevity (5-8 years even with daily wear). Regular maintenance with specific creams and drying after accidental water exposure significantly extend the strap's lifespan. Casati Milano atelier offers an 18-month warranty on all personalized straps.
