Strap for Seamaster 1948 Central Seconds Stainless Steel / Silver / Leather

The Omega Museum Collection 511.13.38.20.02.001 features a lug width of 20 millimetres. This dimension is measured between the integrated case lugs and must be measured with digital precision to guarantee perfect compatibility with aftermarket straps.

For the Museum Collection 511.13.38.20.02.001 we recommend vegetable alligator (teak or cognac) for historical coherence, black shell cordovan for formal sophistication, or medium grain calf for balance between durability and elegance. The choice depends on intended use and skin tone. Milano Straps enables fitting through consultation with the Casati Milano atelier by appointment.

Strap replacement requires specific tools: a spring bar tool to release the tension springs from the old strap, and precise positioning of the bars in the new strap. Milano Straps provides step-by-step photographic support, while the Casati Milano atelier offers replacement service with quality control. Never force the bars to avoid scratching the lugs.

All Milano Straps artisanal straps available in the 20mm collection are compatible with the Museum Collection 511.13.38.20.02.001. Compatibility is guaranteed only for straps with certified 20mm lug width and attachments sized according to Omega standard. Always verify technical specifications before purchase.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and use: vegetable alligator resists 3–5 years with maintenance, shell cordovan 4–7 years if protected from moisture, natural tan calf 2–4 years. Milano Straps offers 18-month warranty on all bespoke straps and unlimited assistance for repairs or restoration at the Casati Milano atelier.
