Strap for Constellation Manhattan 25 Quartz Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Champagne - Diamond / Diamond

The lug width of the Constellation 131.25.25.60.58.001 is 16 millimeters. This dimension is measured from the inner part of one lug to the inner part of the other, excluding any decorative protrusion or crown guard. It is essential to verify this measurement before ordering an aftermarket strap to ensure compatibility and precise fit.

The best strap depends on use and personal preferences. Dark brown alligator represents the noblest choice and harmonizes beautifully with the yellow gold case. Vegetable-tanned calf leather is ideal for those who appreciate a patina that evolves over time. NATO offers versatility and practicality for easy changes. FKM rubber is perfect for those who are not afraid of humid environments. We recommend choosing based on your lifestyle and the main context of the watch's use.

The strap change is performed by removing the spring bars that connect the current strap to the case lugs. Using a specific tool (spring bar remover), apply gentle pressure to release the bars, then extract the old strap. Align the new spring bars with the lugs and reinsert the bars until you feel the safety click. For a correct replacement without risk of scratching, we recommend professional assistance.

Yes, provided they are produced in the correct 16-millimeter lug width. However, not all aftermarket straps guarantee the same build quality as the original Omega bracelet. To ensure longevity, consistent aesthetics, and structural strength, we recommend artisanal straps made from premium materials, such as those available in the 16mm collection, which maintain the proportions and elegance of the watch.

A high-quality natural leather strap, made from alligator or vegetable-tanned calf, has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Longevity depends on the type of tanning, exposure to moisture, cleaning frequency, and the level of general wear. An alligator strap tends to last longer than calf leather. The 18-month artisanal warranty covers manufacturing defects, while wear is a natural part of the leather's aesthetic evolution.
