FAQ

What is the lug width of the Omega Constellation 1396.75.00?

The lug width of the Constellation 1396.75.00 is 16mm. This measurement is the essential reference for purchasing compatible straps. You can verify it by measuring directly between the two slots on the case where the lugs attach.

What is the best strap material for the Constellation 1396.75.00?

For this bicolor 27.50mm model we recommend medium brown alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather. Alligator maintains discrete elegance thanks to its geometric grain, while vegetable-tanned calf develops a personal patina over time. Shell cordovan is ideal for those seeking maximum prestige.

How do I change the strap on my Omega Constellation 1396.75.00?

The strap is changed by extracting the spring bar from both sides of the case. Use a dedicated tool to slightly compress the spring, then slide the bar out of the lug. Once freed, insert the bar into the new strap and reinsert everything into the case slots until you hear the locking click.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the 1396.75.00?

Yes, on Milano Straps you will find a complete collection of 16mm straps compatible with your Constellation. We offer alligator, calf, shell cordovan, crafted in Italian artisanship with customization for sizes, initials and stitching thread choice.

How long does a natural leather strap last on a daily-worn watch?

A quality leather strap, with vegetable tanning like ours, lasts an average of 3-5 years with daily use. Lifespan depends on climate, frequency of wear, wrist humidity and maintenance. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty on all artisanal straps, with the option of reconditioning or replacement.
