The Museum Collection 5775.71.02, seen from the bench

The Omega Museum Collection 5775.71.02 is a rare heritage piece featuring a 40.20mm stainless steel case and a 24mm lug width. It houses the manual-winding Omega caliber 2200 movement with small seconds and hour-minute functions. This model prioritizes proportional balance over generous dimensions, with a clean dial, applied indices, and a naturally evolving patina. The 24mm lug width creates visual presence reminiscent of 1960s-70s sports chronographs, and correct strap selection requires precise 24mm compatibility to preserve case integrity.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Omega Museum Collection 5775.71.02?

The lug width of the 5775.71.02 is 24mm, an unusual specification for a 40.20mm case that amplifies the visual presence of the case on the wrist. This dimension reflects a precise design choice by Omega, sought after by discerning collectors.

Which strap is most suitable for the Omega Museum Collection 5775.71.02?

Vegetable-tanned alligator represents the most sophisticated choice: the natural grain of the leather evolves over time, reflecting the aging of the steel case. Shell cordovan offers natural rigidity ideal for daily wear, while vegetable-tanned calf provides superior chromatic versatility.

How do I change the strap on my 5775.71.02?

Extract the spring bars using a dedicated tool or a Swiss Army knife: work gently to avoid scratching the case. Measure the distance between the holes to confirm the lug width (24mm), then insert the new strap by aligning the spring bars until they click into place. Verify that the case is properly secured before wearing.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the 5775.71.02?

Yes, any 24mm strap is compatible with the 5775.71.02. Milano Straps offers online a complete selection of straps in alligator, cordovan, calf and NATO, all customizable in length, initials and stitching thread. The Casati Milano atelier also creates bespoke straps by appointment.

How long does a leather strap last before needing replacement?

A premium quality alligator or cordovan strap with vegetable tanning maintains structural integrity for 4-6 years of daily wear, naturally evolving in patina and color. Calf has a similar lifespan, while an FKM rubber strap resists degradation for 5-8 years. Milano Straps guarantees 18 months on Casati Milano straps.
