Strap for De Ville Prestige Quartz 27 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Diamond / Bracelet

The lug width of the Omega De Ville 413.25.27.60.05.001 is 18mm. This measurement is the fundamental specification for compatibility with aftermarket straps: it represents the distance between the two attachment pins on the case, measured horizontally between the extremities.

For the De Ville 413.25.27.60.05.001 in mother-of-pearl, we primarily recommend a black or dark brown niloticus alligator strap, which amplifies the dial's prestige. Alternatively, a high-quality European calf leather (Tanneries d'Alençon) in tobacco or taupe offers tactile softness. For more informal occasions, a brown shell cordovan or pearl grey NATO fabric create interesting contrasts.

The strap is replaced by removing the attachment pins (spring bars) that connect the strap to the case. For the De Ville 413.25.27.60.05.001, the pins are of standard diameter: use a spring bar tool to compress the pin, extract it from the hole in the case, separate the old strap, and insert the new one. This is a delicate operation, recommended to be performed by a professional if you are not experienced.

All straps with 18mm lug width are compatible. You will find online straps in alligator, calf, shell cordovan, NATO fabric, vulcanized rubber, and exotic leather, from artisanal brands to industrial manufacturers. Always verify that the strap explicitly states 18mm as the lug width.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use and ordinary maintenance (periodic cleaning, no prolonged water immersion). Exotic leather straps are more durable thanks to the fiber structure. Longevity depends on ambient humidity, frequency of wear, and care: leather fears concentrated sweat and extreme drying. Atelier Casati Milano offers straps with an 18-month warranty for manufacturing defects.
