Strap for Constellation Quartz 25.5 My Choice Stainless Steel / Diamond / Black

The lug width of the 1465.51.00 model is exactly 20 millimetres. This is the distance between the case lugs where the strap attaches. Always verify this measurement directly on your lugs before purchasing an aftermarket strap, as 20 mm is the binding technical parameter for universal compatibility.

For the Constellation 1465.51.00 we primarily recommend alligator, which offers fine and consistent texture without visually competing with the case geometry. Vegetable-tanned calf leather is an excellent alternative for those desiring natural patina aging over time. For daily wear, Cordura rubber ensures practicality without compromising the watch's elegance.

To change the strap, use a spring bar tool or consult an expert. Insert the tool into the lower slot of the spring bar that supports the strap, compress gently to disengage the bar from the case lugs, then remove the old strap. Repeat the operation on the other lug. For installing the new strap, position it aligned with the lugs and reinsert the spring bar into the lower slot until it clicks into place.

Yes, provided the strap is specifically sized to 20 mm lug width. Quality handcrafted aftermarket straps offer stylistic freedom and versatility compared to the original Omega bracelet. Verify that your strap's lug width is compatible with your watch's lugs and choose modest thicknesses: for the compact 1465.51.00 case, we recommend maximum thicknesses of 1.4 mm to maintain balanced proportions.

Durability depends on material and intensity of use. A quality handcrafted alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap guarantees 3–5 years of daily wear before requiring replacement. Vegetable-tanned calf develops fascinating patina over time; Cordura rubber lasts 4–6 years. The warranty recommended by our craftsmen is 18 months with coverage against manufacturing defects. Periodic maintenance (cleaning with a damp cloth) significantly extends longevity.
