Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Omega Museum Collection 518.62.60.00.04.001?
The lug width is 18 mm. This dimension represents the distance between the case attachment points where the strap is inserted. Precise measurement and fundamentally important to ensure correct strap insertion into the receptacles of the Sedna Gold and Canopus Gold case.
What strap do you recommend for the 518.62.60.00.04.001?
For a timepiece of this refinement, we recommend dark brown or black alligator for chromatic harmony, or shell cordovan with natural patina that evolves over time. Vegetable tanning on calf is ideal for those seeking prolonged durability. The strap must match the construction excellence of the case and Omega caliber 1894 movement.
How do you change the strap on this Omega?
Strap replacement requires extraction of the spring bar from each lug of the case. With a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) the spring is compressed, the previous strap is removed and the new one is inserted, ensuring the spring fully re-engages in the receptacles. The procedure must be executed with precision to avoid scratching the gold.
Can I mount an aftermarket compatible strap on my 518.62.60.00.04.001?
Yes, provided the strap is made with a certified 18 mm lug width. Milano Straps offers customizable aftermarket straps in leather and premium materials, with fast delivery and bespoke customization possibilities through the Casati Milano atelier for a complete personalized experience.
How long does a leather strap last on a watch like this?
A high-quality alligator strap lasts 3-5 years with daily use, while shell cordovan reaches 4-6 years thanks to its natural robustness. Vegetable tanning offers similar longevity (4-5 years) with the advantage of a patina that develops over time. Milano Straps guarantees 18 months on Casati Milano bespoke straps, with the option of preventive replacement.
