Strap for Constellation Manhattan 28 Quartz Yellow Gold / MOP

The lug width of this reference is 20mm. This measurement is standard for medium-sized Constellation models and is essential to ensure compatibility with aftermarket straps. Always verify the complete reference 131.50.28.60.55.002 with an authorized dealer before purchase.

For a Constellation in 18-karat yellow gold, natural alligator straps or vegetable-tanned calf leather are the most harmonious choices. Alligator, with its characteristic grain texture, creates an elegant contrast with the warm yellow of the case, while calf leather develops a patina over time, acquiring increasing appeal.

Strap replacement is performed via the lug, where the case attachment pins are inserted. We use a specific tool (spring bar remover or pointer) to compress the spring and extract the pin. We recommend working with care on gold watches to avoid scratches. If you prefer, the Casati Milano atelier offers replacement service by appointment, guaranteeing artisanal craftsmanship.

Any strap with a 20mm lug width is theoretically compatible with the 131.50.28.60.55.002. However, we recommend choosing straps specifically designed for luxury gold watches, which respect visual proportions and construction quality. Milano Straps are made in Italy with premium materials and artisanal finishing, ensuring perfect compatibility and superior aesthetics.

The durability of a leather strap depends on intensity of use, climate, and type of tanning. With vegetable tanning and proper maintenance (regular cleaning, protection from moisture), a quality artisanal strap can last 4-7 years. The patina that forms over time is a characteristic appreciated by collectors, as it testifies to authentic natural wear. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on all custom-made straps.
