Strap for Constellation Manhattan 25 Quartz Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Aventurine

The Omega Constellation 131.20.25.60.53.001 has a lug width of 16mm. This measurement is critical for compatibility with aftermarket straps: 14mm or 18mm straps will not fit correctly. To verify the measurement, position a digital caliper between the two lugs without excessive pressure on the case.

Alligator represents the most aesthetically coherent choice for this model, thanks to its fine grain that enhances the lug geometry and the two-tone case. Dark brown or black alligator with a yellow gold deployant clasp replicates the watch's architecture. For versatility, vegetable-tanned calf offers natural patina over time, while textile straps maintain lightness without formal compromise.

Strap replacement requires a specific tool (spring bar tool) to compress the attachment pins from the lugs. Position the watch on a soft surface to protect it, lift the old strap with the tool, and remove the pins. Insert the new pins into the aftermarket strap, compress slightly, and install into the new strap. If the procedure concerns you, the Casati Milano atelier offers a strap change service with complimentary inspection.

A premium leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf) on a 25mm watch with daily use lasts an average of 5-7 years. Durability depends on frequency of use, climate (humidity accelerates aging), and maintenance. Casati Milano straps include an 18-month warranty and support for natural wear. Protecting the strap from constant sun exposure and very humid environments significantly extends its lifespan.
