Strap for Constellation Manhattan 25 Quartz Stainless Steel / MOP

The lug width of the Constellation 131.10.25.60.55.001 is 16mm. This measurement, taken from outside to outside of the attachment pins, is specific to this 25mm model. Always verify it before ordering a replacement strap, as it is not compatible with other Constellation generations that use 14mm or 18mm lugs.

Alligator remains the most elegant choice thanks to its regular texture that complements the metal bracelet. However, shell cordovan offers extraordinary character and develops a unique patina over time. For daily use, fluoro silicone rubber guarantees practicality while maintaining aesthetic rigor. Avoid overly thick straps that would weigh down the small case.

Strap replacement requires a springbar tool. Position the watch on a soft surface, insert the springbar tool into the small lateral slot of the left pin, gently press upward until the internal spring is released, then remove the strap. Repeat the same procedure on the right side. To mount the new strap, align the pins with the case lugs and press until the clasp clicks.

Yes, the aftermarket market offers wide compatibility for the <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/misura-ansa">16mm lug width</a>. Milano Straps offers online straps ready for shipment and customizable in leather, initials, and thread color. The important thing is to verify that the lug width corresponds exactly to 16mm and that the strap thickness does not exceed 4-5mm, otherwise it will struggle to fit into the tight lugs.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and usage. A high-quality <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/alligatore">alligator</a> strap with <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/concia-vegetale">vegetable tanning</a> typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use, especially if subjected to periodic maintenance. Shell cordovan tends to last longer thanks to fiber density, while fluoro silicone rubber remains unaltered for 5-7 years. The 18-month warranty offered by Casati Milano covers manufacturing defects on all custom straps.
