Strap for Constellation Manhattan 28 Quartz Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width of the Constellation 131.10.28.60.02.001 is 19 millimeters. This is the distance between the two attachment points of the case where the strap is inserted. Always verify by measuring perpendicularly from one lug to the other to avoid reading errors.

There is no universal "best" choice, but it depends on usage. Alligator is the most sophisticated solution for formal contexts; calf offers daily versatility with patina evolving over time; shell cordovan provides extreme durability with natural luster. For sporty profiles or humid environments, FKM rubber ensures reliability without compromise.

The Constellation 131.10.28.60.02.001 is equipped with fixed lugs. Use a spring bar tool to gently remove the spring that supports the strap from inside the lug. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the spring, then reinsert the spring itself. If you are not confident, consult a professional watchmaker or contact Casati Milano for assistance.

Yes, absolutely. Although the Constellation was conceived with an integrated bracelet, the 19mm lug width is compatible with hundreds of artisanal and industrial straps. The visual element will change radically: an artisanal alligator strap will transform the character of the watch, giving it a more personal identity compared to the original bracelet.

A noble leather strap, with ordinary maintenance (avoiding prolonged wetting, protecting from direct heat sources), maintains functionality and aesthetics for 3-5 years. Shell cordovan, thanks to its construction density, can exceed 7-8 years. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on all bespoke straps, covering manufacturing defects and hidden vices.
