Made to Measure

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.

FAQ

What strap material do you recommend for the Constellation 1368.71.00?

For the Constellation 1368.71.00 we recommend three choices in order of iconic appeal: alligator (especially French or Madagascan) for timeless elegance, vegetable-tanned calf for a soft feel and natural patina that evolves over time, or shell cordovan for an almost ceramic glossy aesthetic. The choice depends on usage: alligator for formal occasions, calf for daily versatility, shell cordovan for purists seeking tactile perfection.

How do you change the strap on the Constellation 1368.71.00?

Changing the strap on the Constellation 1368.71.00 requires a flat tool (Swiss Army knife or dedicated spring bar tool) and a bit of care. Locate the small recess on the metal lug tip, push toward the center to release the spring and slide outward. Repeat on both sides. To install the new strap, align the hole on the leather with the metal lug and gently push until it clicks into place. If you prefer to avoid any risk, the Casati Milano atelier offers a strap-changing service by appointment.

How long does a leather strap last on a watch like the Constellation?

The durability of a leather strap depends on the material and usage. A quality alligator (such as those with vegetable tanning) lasts on average 4-6 years with daily use. Vegetable-tanned calf has similar longevity, while shell cordovan—being denser—can exceed 10 years. The natural patina that forms over time is a desired characteristic, not a defect. Milano Straps guarantees 18 months on all straps from the Casati Milano atelier, and the wear rate also depends on cleaning frequency and protection from extreme humidity.
