Strap for De Ville Prestige Quartz 22 Yellow Gold / MOP Diamond / Bracelet

The lug width of the De Ville 4170.76.00 is precisely 20 mm. This measurement is verified by positioning a caliper on the internal recess of the case between the two horizontal pins. It is essential not to confuse this measurement with others, as a discrepancy of only 1-2 mm will render the strap incompatible.

Alligator is the traditional choice, with geometric texture that enhances the rigour of the case. However, vegetable-tanned calf offers a sophisticated alternative for those who prefer a finer grain. Shell cordovan is ideal for those seeking a durable strap that ages gracefully. The choice depends on use: formal, daily or mixed.

Strap replacement requires the use of a spring bar tool (with rounded tip) to compress the internal elastic pins. Position the tool in the case recess, gently push the pin inward, and slide the old strap out. Reverse the process to install the new strap. If unsure, it is advisable to consult a professional.

Yes, provided the strap has a lug width of exactly 20 mm. Quality aftermarket straps, such as artisanal alligator or calf, are not only compatible but often allow you to refresh the watch's aesthetic. It is important to verify the lug width before purchase.

Durability depends on the material and usage. A quality alligator strap lasts 3-5 years with moderate daily use, while shell cordovan can exceed 10 years. A vegetable-tanned calf strap typically lasts 2-4 years. Frequency of use, climate and leather care significantly influence longevity. A well-maintained strap (regularly cleaned and dried if wet) lasts longer.
