Strap for De Ville Co-Axial 44 Chronoscope Rattrapante II Stainless Steel / Grey / Bracelet

The lug width of the De Ville 422.10.44.51.06.001 is 20mm. This is the width of the seat where the strap connects to the case between the lugs. This measurement is not adjustable and must match exactly the strap you wish to purchase.

Vegetable-tanned alligator remains the ideal choice to maintain the formal dress character of this model. It offers natural rigidity, refined characteristic grain, and a patina that ages beautifully. Vegetable-tanned calf leather represents a valid alternative for those desiring greater softness and daily versatility.

The strap is changed by removing the spring bars that secure it to the case. Using a spring bar removal tool (available at jewelers) or a small screwdriver, gently push the bar from one side to the other of the case. Ensure that the new strap has exactly 20mm lug width. If you are not experienced, consult a qualified watchmaker.
