Strap for Constellation Manhattan 28 Quartz Sedna Gold / MOP - Ruby / Diamond

The Omega Constellation 131.55.28.60.99.003 has a lug width of 18mm. This width is calculated by measuring the distance between the two axes of the spring bar lugs. It is essential to verify this specification to ensure compatibility with the strap, as different sizes (16mm or 20mm) will not fit correctly.

The best strap depends on usage and personal preferences. For a classic pairing, brown or black alligator is ideal. For a more artisanal dimension with rich patina, Italian vegetable-tanned calf leather is recommended. Shell cordovan offers exclusivity and durability. The choice depends on the occasion and the desired aesthetic tone.

The strap is changed by extracting the spring bars from the lateral holes of the case using a specific tool (spring bar tool). Insert the flat tip of the tool into the hole at the base of the lug, gently push to compress the internal spring and extract the pin. Repeat on both sides, then insert the new strap by gently compressing the spring bars into their respective cavities.

All straps with 18mm lug width are compatible with the Constellation 131.55.28.60.99.003. MilanoStraps offers a dedicated collection of 18mm straps, customizable in material, color and size. The Casati Milano atelier can create a custom solution considering the specific case proportions and individual aesthetic preferences.

A natural leather strap worn daily typically lasts 2-4 years, depending on the material, quality of tanning and frequency of use. Alligator and shell cordovan are more durable. Vegetable-tanned leather develops patina and can last longer with consistent care. MilanoStraps offers an 18-month warranty on personalized straps and recommends regular maintenance to extend longevity.
