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

Can a standard strap be fitted to the Omega Constellation 1561.61.00?

No, the strap attachment on this model does not follow conventional straight-bar standards: it is integral to the case design. However, a bespoke strap works perfectly. <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> measures the case directly and crafts a strap calibrated to the specific geometry of your Constellation.

How is the bespoke strap made for this model?

<a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> begins by physically measuring the lugs and their proprietary geometry. We select leather according to your taste and the watch's character, then hand-craft a strap whose structure, thickness, and suppleness ensure a fluid, natural transition between case and strap.

Which leather best suits the character of the Constellation 1561.61.00?

Fine-grained leathers such as calf or artisanal alligator highlight the minimalist elegance of the steel case. Vegetable-tanned leathers and age-developing hides reflect the model's philosophy: accompanying time by developing natural patina, synchronising the evolution of case and strap.

How long does a well-made strap last?

A strap crafted with quality leather and artisanal standards can accompany you for years, often decades if cared for. Durability depends on leather type (vegetable-tanned leather maintains structure longer), daily use, and routine maintenance. Natural aging is part of the object's story.

Why is the Constellation 1561.61.00 considered a model of excellence?

Introduced in the 1950s, the Constellation defined modern Omega watchmaking: chronometric precision, signature griffes as design hallmark, and studied proportions. The manual-wind 1456 calibre preserves the functional simplicity that distinguishes quality instruments. Its 26mm diameter makes it a timeless watch—wearable and understated, ageing with dignity.
