Strap for Constellation Quadra Quartz 28 Chronograph Stainless Steel / White / Fabric

The Omega Constellation 1841.35.71 requires a lug width of 19mm. This measurement corresponds to the exact distance between the attachment pins on the case. To verify it yourself, place the watch on a flat surface and measure with a digital caliper the space between the two horizontal pins. An 18mm or 20mm strap will not fit correctly, so precision is essential to ensure perfect adjustment and protect the crystal during strap changes.

For this elegant women's model we recommend: alligator (regular and formal grain), vegetable-tanned calf leather (natural patina over time), shell cordovan (resistance and colour depth), or NATO canvas with leather keeper (versatility and practicality). Your choice depends on use: alligator for formal occasions, calf for elegant everyday wear, technical rubber for active contexts. The stainless steel case tolerates chromatic variations, allowing you to build a mini-capsule of 3-4 different straps.

The Constellation 1841.35.71 has curved integrated lugs, so care is required during strap changes. Use a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) to gently extract the attachment pins, working from below toward the sides of the case. Place the watch on a soft cloth to prevent scratches. Never force the pins: if you encounter resistance, warm slightly with a hair dryer to facilitate removal. Consult Omega documentation or contact Casati Milano atelier for personalized assistance.

Not recommended. The Constellation 1841.35.71 requires specific 19mm straps with curved lugs (not straight), to adapt to the integrated case geometry. Generic straps risk scratching the crystal during installation or fitting incorrectly. Milano Straps offers specific 19mm straps online, or Casati Milano atelier creates custom solutions with a choice of premium leathers and guaranteed fitting.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) lasts an average of 3-5 years with daily use, with variability depending on humidity, perspiration, and cleaning frequency. Vegetable tanning extends the natural durability of the material. Casati Milano atelier offers an 18-month warranty on all custom-made straps. To extend lifespan: avoid prolonged moisture, clean regularly with a soft cloth, rotate between multiple straps if possible. Technical rubber requires less maintenance but has similar useful life before hardening.
