The strap for this watch is made to measure
On the Omega Constellation 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.

What is the best strap to pair with the Constellation 131.23.29.20.99.002?
For the Constellation 131.23.29.20.99.002, the best strap depends on usage: for formal wear, alligator in cognac brown or black tones with a steel deployant clasp is recommended. For everyday use, vegetable-tanned calf leather in dark brown ensures comfort and develops a natural patina that enhances the character of the timepiece. Shell cordovan is the premium choice for extraordinary durability, though it requires regular maintenance.
How do I change the strap on my Omega Constellation 131.23.29.20.99.002?
Changing the strap on the Constellation is accessible even for beginners. You will need a spring bar tool (available online at low cost) to compress the small spring attachments at both ends of the lug. Insert the tool into the slot, gently compress the spring, and the strap detaches from the case. Install the new strap onto the same spring bars using the same procedure in reverse. If you prefer to avoid any risk, contact an authorized Omega service center or an experienced watchmaker.
How long does a natural leather strap last on a watch like the Constellation 131.23.29.20.99.002?
Durability depends on the material and usage. Quality alligator, with proper maintenance (cleaning with a damp cloth, avoiding prolonged water exposure), lasts 5-7 years in daily use. Vegetable-tanned calf leather, being more absorbent, has an average lifespan of 3-5 years. Shell cordovan, if maintained with regular conditioners, reaches 8-10 years of life. Keeping the strap dry, avoiding prolonged moisture, and not exposing it to direct heat sources significantly extends durability.
