Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 36.5 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Diamond / Bracelet

The Omega De Ville 413.25.37.20.58.001 features a lug width of 16mm. This is the standard construction specification for this model and determines compatibility with any aftermarket strap. To verify the measurement, position a ruler between the two sides of the lugs near the case body, measuring the internal space without including any side protections or bezels.

We recommend alligator in dark brown or cognac tones, which enhance the yellow gold component of the case. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf offers immediate softness and versatile compatibility. For those seeking artisanal authenticity and legendary durability, shell cordovan represents the most refined solution. Choice depends on usage: formal occasions (alligator), daily wear (calf), weekend (NATO or rubber).

The strap is changed by extracting the spring bars that connect the strap to the case lugs. Use a spring bar tool (fork or lever style), gently pushing the pin inward toward the case to disengage it from one lug, then extract it completely. Repeat on the opposite lug. Insert the new strap, align the holes, and reinsert the spring bars. This operation requires care to avoid scratching the two-tone case.

Yes, any strap with a 16mm lug width is compatible with the De Ville 413.25.37.20.58.001. Compatibility concerns the width of the lug; the total strap length can be customised during ordering to fit your wrist. Always specify if you prefer straight lugs, offset lugs, or a dedicated deployante clasp.

Durability depends on material and usage. A quality alligator strap, with regular maintenance and rotation with other straps, can last 5-7 years. Calf, being more subject to wear, offers 3-5 years. Shell cordovan can exceed 10 years if treated consciously. Vegetable tanning develops rich patina over time, improving aesthetically with ageing. Avoid prolonged water immersion and occasionally apply protective balms to extend useful life.
