Strap for Constellation Manhattan 28 Quartz Stainless Steel / Celestial

The lug width of the Constellation 131.10.28.60.03.001 is 20 millimetres. This measurement is calculated from the inner shoulder on the left to the inner shoulder on the right, and is the critical parameter for selecting compatible straps. On 28mm watches, the 20mm represents Omega's standard construction for this ladies collection.

Genuine alligator represents the most sophisticated choice for this model, as its natural grain perfectly complements the classic Constellation design. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf offers daily comfort, while shell cordovan represents the solution for those seeking durability and noble patina development over time.

The strap is replaced using a spring bar remover (small stainless steel lever) to compress the internal springs of the lug attachments. Position the tool under the lug pin, apply gentle pressure to compress the spring, then extract the pin. Repeat on the other side. The operation requires care to avoid damaging the case; we recommend enlisting professionals if inexperienced.

Yes, any strap constructed to 20mm lug width is mechanically compatible. However, it is essential to verify the strap thickness: Omega attachments have specific construction tolerances, so straps from reliable suppliers ensure proper fit without excessive play or excessive tightness.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) on a ladies wristwatch such as the 131.10.28.60.03.001 typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use, varying based on the material chosen and the environment (humidity, heat, mechanical wear). Shell cordovan offers the greatest longevity; more delicate leathers require preventive maintenance. Casati Milano warrants its straps for 18 months.
