Extra-Long Strap for a Vintage Omega Constellation
A vintage Omega Constellation is a watch worth dressing in leather, but a larger wrist rules out most straps, which usually stop around 8.5 inches. The owner of this one needed length the catalog does not carry. This build is an extra-long strap for the Omega Constellation, cut from green crocodile to 125/185 mm so it closes on a comfortable hole rather than the last one.

Why these choices
The length is the headline. At 125/185 mm the strap runs roughly 310 mm tip to tip, which suits wrists in the 8.5 to 12 inch range that most makers do not cover. Cutting an extra-long strap is not just adding leather — the holes, taper and keeper all move so the watch still sits centered and the tail tucks away. We kept the buckle end at 16 mm so the proportions stay right on a smaller vintage case, and fitted quick-release spring bars so it goes on without a tool.
Green crocodile was chosen to give a vintage Constellation some character without going loud. Crocodile softens with wear and takes a hand-rubbed patina, so an older watch gets a strap that ages with it rather than against it. The green leather reads richer than black under a gold-tone case, and the classic gold buckle picks up the warm hardware these watches usually wear.
This was built to order for one wrist, which is the only way to get both an exotic leather and a true extra-long length in the same strap. You can start the same build on the green crocodile strap page and specify the length in the notes.
