Strap for Constellation Automatic 27.5 Stainless Steel / Grey

The Omega Constellation 1592.40.00 features a 19 mm lug width. This measurement is the space between the two spring bars that connect the bracelet or strap to the case. To verify it, measure the distance between the lugs from outer edge to outer edge: it should be exactly 19 mm.

It depends on the context of use. Brown or dark green dyed alligator is the most versatile choice, with pronounced texture and noble aging. Shell cordovan offers an extraordinary transparent patina over time. Vegetable-tanned calf represents a compromise between formality and everyday wear. For informal use, a silk NATO strap is a coherent modern reinterpretation.

Strap replacement requires the use of a specific tool (spring bar remover tool) to extract the spring bars from the case lugs. If you are not experienced, we recommend contacting a qualified jeweler or watchmaker. The operation is straightforward but must be performed carefully to avoid scratching the case.

Absolutely yes. The Constellation 1592.40.00 is fully compatible with bespoke 19 mm straps from any brand, provided the construction quality is adequate. Customizable straps available online offer the possibility to choose leather, color, buckle (including deployant clasp) and stitching thread.

Durability depends on the material and usage. A quality artisanal alligator or shell cordovan strap lasts 4-7 years in daily use, developing a fascinating patina. Vegetable-tanned calf, being softer, has an average lifespan of 3-5 years. Vegetable tanning ages better compared to synthetic chrome tanning. Regular maintenance (gentle cleaning and occasional conditioning with natural conditioner) significantly extends the strap's life.
