Strap for Constellation Manhattan 28 Quartz Stainless Steel / Sedna Gold / Brown - Diamond

The lug width is 16mm. It is measured from the tip of the left pin to the tip of the right pin, in a straight line parallel to the case diameter. Do not confuse this with the internal width of the buckle or the bracelet keeper of the original bracelet.

Alligator leather is the ideal choice for the Constellation 131.20.28.60.63.001 thanks to its fine texture that synchronizes with the sophistication of the two-tone Sedna Gold and steel case. Vegetable-tanned calf leather represents the noble alternative, developing a rich patina over time. Avoid classic NATO and overly casual materials.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool or the intervention of a qualified watchmaker. Locate the pins that connect the strap to the lugs, gently compress the pin on one side until it releases, then remove the strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the pins and ensure they click correctly on both sides.

An artisanal-quality alligator or calf leather strap typically lasts 3-5 years of daily wear, depending on exposure to water, perspiration and UV rays. With regular care (gentle cleaning and drying) and rotation with other straps, lifespan extends to 6-7 years. Casati Milano straps include an 18-month warranty and can be regenerated through leather re-swelling.
