Q: How long does a leather strap last on an Omega Constellation?

A superior quality leather strap, with vegetable tanning , lasts 3-5 years if subjected to regular and moderate wear. More robust materials such as alligator and shell cordovan can last beyond 5-7 years. The patina that develops over time is desired, as it imparts character and uniqueness to the strap.

Question 1

What is the lug width of the Omega Constellation 131.55.28.60.55.001?

Accepted Answer

The lug width of this model is 14mm. This specification is crucial for selecting compatible straps: an incorrect width risks the strap not fitting properly into the lugs of the octagonal case, compromising the aesthetics and security of the bracelet.

Question 2

What is the best strap to pair with the Constellation Sedna Gold 28mm?

Accepted Answer

For a Constellation in Sedna Gold, straps in matte alligator in dark brown or black tones represent the most elegant choice, as the fine grain enhances the smoothness of the rose gold case. Alternatively, a superior quality vegetable-tanned calfskin offers a bolder contrast and a patina that ages beautifully over time.

How do I change the strap on my Omega Constellation 131.55.28.60.55.001?
