The Constellation 131.50.29.20.53.003 (aka: 13150292053003), seen from the bench

The Omega Constellation 131.50.29.20.53.003 carries forward a heritage dating to 1952 with its 29mm Sedna Gold case and Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement. The tonneau-shaped case in proprietary Sedna Gold (18-karat rose gold with copper) features a champagne dial with solid gold applied indices, protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The Omega Caliber 8701 movement with patented Co-Axial escapement ensures precision to ±0 seconds per day and minimal wear. The watch displays hours, minutes, seconds, and date window at 3 o'clock, with water resistance to 100 meters. The lug width measures exactly 18mm, matching the proportional design of the 29mm case diameter.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Omega Constellation 131.50.29.20.53.003?

The lug width is exactly 18mm. This measurement is critical for compatibility: a strap must fit perfectly on the suspension pins of the tonneau case, without lateral play or excessive tension. Always physically verify the vertical distance between the lugs before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

Which strap material pairs best with the Sedna Gold and champagne dial of the Constellation?

Dark brown or mahogany alligator is the traditional choice: the regular grain reflects the formal aesthetic of the tonneau case. For a more contemporary approach, vegetable-tanned calf leather aged in beige or cream creates an interesting tonal contrast. Black alligator is the universal formal variant.

How do you change the strap on this model? Are special tools required?

The strap is secured with standard suspension pins (18mm). You will need a small flathead screwdriver and a pin remover (or a watchmaker's needle). Gently push the pin inward until the retaining spring releases. We recommend having a professional watchmaker guide you through this the first time, especially with a Constellation of this value.

Are 18mm straps from milanostraps.it compatible with the reference 131.50.29.20.53.003?

Yes. All straps from the 18mm collection have been tested on this specific geometry. Each strap is manufactured with millimeter tolerances that guarantee perfect fit without play. You can order them online ready for shipment, or request customizations (custom sizes, initials, thread color) through Casati Milano.

How long does a leather strap last on a timepiece worn daily like the Constellation?

A quality strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear and ordinary care (monthly cleaning with a damp cloth). Longevity depends on body perspiration, sun exposure, and frequency of wear. A Casati Milano strap includes 18 months of manufacturing warranty against workmanship defects.
