Strap for Constellation Manhattan 29 Co-Axial Master Chronometer Stainless Steel / Grey

The lug width is 18 millimetres. To verify it, measure from the inner point of the left lug to the inner point of the right lug. Straps must be specifically constructed for 18mm, as they are not compatible with 16, 19 or 20 millimetre lugs.

It depends on the occasion. For formal events, we recommend black alligator or vegetable-tanned calf in brown tones. For elegant everyday wear, brown shell cordovan or cognac calf. If you want versatility, black vulcanized rubber with contrasting thread stitching is always discreet and functional.

Use a strap changer or dedicated tool to gently push the pin that connects the strap to the case. The Constellation pins are standard 18mm. Extract the pin, remove the old strap, insert the new one ensuring the pin is properly positioned and locked. It requires care but is not a complex operation.

Yes, many. Milanostraps.it offers a collection of 18mm straps customizable in material, colour, size and stitching thread. You can also commission a custom-made strap from Casati Milano by choosing the leather in person, with an 18-month warranty.

A quality leather strap, with vegetable tanning, lasts on average 4-7 years if worn daily. Shell cordovan is more durable (5-10 years), standard calf (3-5 years). Durability depends on humidity, frequency of use and maintenance. Avoid prolonged water immersion and regularly dry the strap after contact with water.
