Strap for Constellation Manhattan 25 Quartz Yellow Gold / Aventurine

The Omega Constellation 131.50.25.60.53.001 has a lug width of 16mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two case lugs where the strap is attached. It is essential to verify this specification before ordering an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect compatibility.

For a Constellation 131.50.25.60.53.001 in 18-carat yellow gold, the most recommended materials are alligator (which offers formal elegance), vegetable-tanned calf leather (with patina that ages beautifully), shell cordovan (for those seeking inner lustre), and vulcanized rubber (for sporty versatility). The choice depends on your intended use and personal style.

The strap change on the Constellation 131.50.25.60.53.001 is performed using spring bars: a specific tool (spring bar tool) is required to push the small spring located inside the lug and release the strap. If you are not experienced, it is advisable to have the operation performed at a certified watchmaker or at the Casati Milano atelier to ensure that the gold lugs are not damaged.

Yes, you can use quality aftermarket straps provided they strictly respect the 16mm lug width measurement. Milano Straps provides artisanal 16mm straps specifically designed for this compatibility. Always verify that the strap is constructed for this exact width and that the materials used (leather, rubber) are durable and properly treated.

Durability depends on daily use, the type of leather, and maintenance. A quality artisanal alligator or shell cordovan strap lasts an average of 3-5 years with regular use. Vegetable-tanned calf leather typically lasts 2-4 years. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty on all straps produced in-atelier, with the possibility of upgrades and maintenance through the Casati Milano bespoke service.
