Strap for Constellation Manhattan 28 Quartz Stainless Steel / Grey - Diamond

The Constellation 131.10.28.60.56.001 features an 18 mm lug width. This dimension is critical for strap compatibility and must be strictly observed; any aftermarket strap must be specified as "18 mm" to guarantee proper fit to the case lugs.

It depends on your usage context. For formal elegance, we recommend black alligator or cognac vegetable-tanned calf; for exceptional durability and patina development over time, burgundy shell cordovan; for summer versatility, a natural textile NATO strap. The ideal choice reflects your daily wear and desired level of formality.

The Constellation 131.10.28.60.56.001 uses standard straight 18 mm lugs. Equip yourself with a spring bar tool, insert the tip into the lug slot, gently lift the pin until release, remove the old strap and insert the new one by aligning the spring bar holes. Ensure both ends are securely fastened before wearing the watch.

Yes, any strap with standard 18 mm lugs is compatible. Verify that the strap is specified as "18 mm" in the title or technical specifications. Quality aftermarket straps—such as alligator, calf, shell cordovan or NATO—fit perfectly, allowing you to customize the aesthetic without interfering with the movement or case.

Durability depends on the material and usage. An alligator or shell cordovan strap lasts 3–5 years with moderate daily wear; vegetable-tanned calf typically lasts 2–3 years before showing significant signs of wear. Exposure to water, perspiration and sunlight accelerates aging. Textile NATO straps last longer but require periodic washing. A custom handmade strap can be rejuvenated through re-stitching.
