The Heritage

The Harry Winston Opus represents an annual series of collaborations with independent watchmakers that began in 2001. Each Opus model features unique and innovative complications developed in partnership with master watchmakers. The OPUMTO38PP008 reference belongs to this limited collection characterized by experimental movements and avant-garde design.
Made to Measure

The strap for this watch is made to measure

On the Harry Winston Opus the bracelet is drawn as part of the case: no catalogue strap will fit. In the atelier we take the measurements on the watch itself and build the strap on the piece — that is the work of Casati Milano.

FAQ

Can a standard strap be fitted to the Harry Winston Opus OPUMTO38PP008?

No, not a standard straight-bar lug attachment: the attachment point is integral to the case design and follows a proprietary geometry. A bespoke strap is the correct solution. <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> creates it through direct measurement of your watch, building the strap by hand to integrate perfectly with the case.

How does the made-to-measure strap construction work for this model?

<a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> examines your OPUMTO38PP008's proprietary attachment point, measures its angle, depth and proportions, then constructs the strap by hand. It is not an adaptation of a standard product: the strap is built directly on the watch, ensuring total structural and aesthetic coherence.

Which leather is appropriate for the Harry Winston Opus OPUMTO38PP008 character?

The Opus communicates through geometric purity, so leather must reflect this austerity. Smooth vegetable-tanned leather with matte patina in cool tones (grey, black), or alligator in very fine grain are coherent choices. Avoid irregular grains or highly polished finishes that would conflict visually with the platinum case.

How long does a well-made strap last on a watch of this quality?

A strap hand-crafted by <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> in natural vegetable leather or noble reptiles lasts 8 to 15 years with regular maintenance. Longevity depends on daily use and climate conditions, but construction quality ensures deterioration is gradual and the strap remains repairable.

Why is the Opus OPUMTO38PP008 different from classic Harry Winston watches?

Opus is Harry Winston's avant-garde project: each edition collaborates with independent masters to create movements and architectures never seen before. The 2002 OPUMTO38PP008 represents the quest for integrated microrotor, rejecting the maison's traditional aesthetic language. It is not elegant in a classical sense: it is radical, structuralist, uncompromising.
