Strap for Constellation Manhattan 28 Quartz Yellow Gold - Diamond / Moonshine Meteorite

The lug width is 19mm. This dimension is fundamental for strap compatibility and represents the exact distance between the two lateral pins where the strap fits. Always measure from pin to pin on the outside to verify accuracy.

For this 25mm yellow gold Constellation, we recommend a cognac or burgundy alligator strap, which creates harmony with the precious metal. If you prefer versatility, vegetable-tanned calf leather develops a natural patina over time. For a more sporty approach, a robust textile NATO strap is practical and contemporary. Avoid excessively satin straps, which would contrast with the discreet elegance of the watch.

The strap is changed using a spring bar tool. Locate the pin supporting the strap at the lug, press the spring bar tool into the small lateral hole of the pin itself, and the pin will yield. Remove the old strap, insert the new one by snapping the pin into both lugs, and verify that it is firmly secured. If you lack experience, entrust the operation to an expert to avoid scratches on the case.

Yes, any strap with a 19mm lug width is compatible with this model. Artisanal aftermarket straps, such as those from Milano Straps, fit perfectly to the Constellation's standard pins. Compatibility depends exclusively on the 19mm width, not on the strap brand.

A high-quality leather strap, especially in alligator or quality calf, lasts on average 3-5 years with daily use, provided it is properly maintained (avoid prolonged moisture, do not expose it to direct heat sources). Artisanal straps such as those from Casati Milano maintain an 18-month warranty and develop a patina that increases character over time, transforming wear into beauty.
