Strap for Constellation Manhattan 25 Quartz Stainless Steel / Sedna Gold / MOP

The lug width is 16mm. This dimension is specific to the Constellation 25mm model and it is essential to verify it before purchasing any aftermarket strap, as even a millimeter difference causes physical incompatibility with the case lugs.

Alligator in cognac or medium brown tones represents the most elegant choice, enhancing the mother-of-pearl dial without competing visually. Alternatively, dark burgundy shell cordovan offers depth and a patina that evolves over time. For a modern approach, vegetable-tanned calf in matte black creates sophisticated contrast.

The strap is changed using a spring bar tool to gently compress the spring-loaded pins that secure the strap to the case lugs. Insert the tool into the pin groove, apply light pressure, and slide the strap out. Repeat on the other side. For installation, align the strap holes with the lugs and reinsert the spring bars. If you are not experienced, consult a professional watchmaker.

All straps with 16mm lug width are physically compatible. Milano Straps offers a dedicated collection of 16mm straps in alligator, shell cordovan, calf, and other materials, customizable in color, width sizes, and details such as initials and stitching type.

Durability depends on the material and intensity of use. Quality alligator lasts 3-5 years with average wear. Shell cordovan can last 5-7 years or more, as the leather strengthens over time. Calf tends to wear faster (2-4 years) with intensive use. Factors such as perspiration, sun exposure, and humidity accelerate aging. Milano Straps offers an 18-month warranty on Casati artisanal straps.
