Strap for Constellation Manhattan 25 Quartz Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Silver Diamond

The lug width of this Constellation model is 16 mm. This is the external distance between the two barrels (pins) that protrude from the case. It is essential to verify this dimension with a digital caliper before ordering an aftermarket strap, as even a minimal difference of 0.5 mm would compromise the fit to the lugs.

For this 25 mm model we recommend straps in cognac brown or black alligator for formal elegance, or vegetable-tanned calf for daily versatility. In summer, an FKM rubber strap maintains sophisticated aesthetics without weighing down the wrist. NATO textile straps in neutral tones are ideal for those seeking interchangeability.

The strap is changed by removing the barrels (lateral pins) of the case with a specialized tool called a spring bar removal tool. Insert the new strap by aligning the lugs with the pins and reinsert the barrels until the click of engagement. It is advisable to entrust this operation to an expert to avoid damage to the case, or contact Casati Milano atelier for professional replacement.

Yes, provided the lug width is 16 mm. High-quality aftermarket straps (in alligator, vegetable-tanned calf or rubber) are completely compatible with the Constellation 131.20.25.60.52.002 and offer greater color versatility compared to the original bracelet. Ensure that the strap is certified for this lug width.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) lasts an average of 4-6 years with moderate daily use. The duration depends on exposure to sunlight, contact with moisture and frequency of use. Vegetable-tanned leather ages elegantly developing patina, while industrially-tanned leather tends to stiffen. FKM rubber straps have a longer lifespan (8-10 years) but require periodic cleaning.
