Strap for Constellation Manhattan 28 Quartz Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Silver

The lug width of the Constellation 131.20.28.60.02.002 is 18mm. This width is specific to the 28mm case and ensures the correct visual proportion. Always verify with a caliper the distance between the attachment pins before ordering a replacement strap.

Vegetable-tanned alligator represents the most refined choice, thanks to its fine grain and the patina that develops naturally over time. Calf leather and shell cordovan offer versatility and excellent resistance. The choice depends on use: formal for alligator, everyday for calf, sport-chic for cordovan.

The strap is replaced by removing the spring bars from the case lugs. Use a specific tool, a spring bar tool, to gently compress the spring and extract the pin. Insert the new strap in the same manner, ensuring that the pins engage securely on both sides.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 18mm. Quality artisanal straps, crafted in alligator, calf leather, or shell cordovan, pair excellently with the two-tone finish of the Constellation. Verify that the supplied spring bars are compatible or use the original ones.

A fine leather strap, maintained with care (avoiding prolonged soaking and drying it after water contact), lasts between 3 and 5 years under intensive daily-use conditions. Vegetable tanning and alligator age elegantly, developing a patina that increases the aesthetic value of the timepiece.
