Strap for Constellation Manhattan 25 Quartz Stainless Steel / MOP

The lug width of the Constellation 131.10.25.60.05.001 is 16mm. This measurement represents the distance between the lugs (lug-to-lug) where the strap is inserted. It is essential to measure it correctly with a ruler, from inside to inside, to ensure complete compatibility of any strap.

Alligator is the most harmonious choice for the Constellation 131.10.25.60.05.001: the natural texture of the scales enhances the elegance of the women's model without weighing it down. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers a classic aesthetic with a patina that improves over time. For practicality, technical rubber ensures absolute durability.

The strap is changed by removing the spring bars that hold it in the case. Use a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) to compress the internal spring of the bar and extract it laterally. Repeat the operation on both sides. Insert the new strap by aligning it with the holes and push the spring bar until it clicks into place. If you are unsure, rely on a qualified watchmaker.
