The Speedmaster Moonwatch 3695.50.31 (aka: 36955031), seen from the bench

The Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Yellow Gold model 3695.50.31 features a 42mm yellow gold case and a manual-winding caliber 1863 column-wheel chronograph movement. This iconic chronograph, worn by twelve astronauts on the Moon in 1969, embodies decades of refinement combining functional precision with timeless design. The 20mm lug width is the specific attachment dimension for this model's case, requiring a strap that maintains visual proportion without competing with the yellow gold warmth.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch 3695.50.31?

The lug width is 20mm. This measurement is specific to the 3695.50.31 model and represents the distance between the two case lugs. All compatible straps must respect this dimension to ensure a perfect fit into the case lugs.

What is the best strap for the Speedmaster Moonwatch 3695.50.31 in yellow gold?

Dark brown alligator is the most authoritative choice, as the geometric grains visually echo the chronograph dials and the natural patina harmonizes with the warmth of 18K gold. For daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf leather in cognac tones offers sobriety and chromatic evolution over time. A navy NATO strap ensures tactical versatility without compromising formality.

How do you change the strap on the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch 3695.50.31?

The lugs on this model are solid and the attachment is via screw. Use a dedicated tool to gently unscrew the pins, ensuring the case does not experience stress. Once you have removed the old strap, insert the new one and screw the pins with uniform precision. If you lack experience, entrust the work to a professional watchmaker.

Is an aftermarket strap truly compatible with the 3695.50.31?

Yes, provided the width is exactly 20mm and the total length is sufficient to wrap around the wrist with the deployant clasp. Online you will find 20mm straps ready to ship on milanostraps.it, customizable in leather, sizes and colors. The Casati Milano atelier also creates bespoke versions with an 18-month warranty.

How long does a leather strap last on a watch worn daily like the Moonwatch?

A quality alligator or calf leather strap lasts 3-5 years with daily wear, developing a desirable patina in the first year. Durability depends on perspiration, sun exposure and frequency of rotation among multiple straps. A vegetable-tanned strap ages more aesthetically than chromium-tanned or low-quality straps, adding character rather than deterioration.
