Strap for De Ville Co-Axial 41 Chronograph 4 Counters White Gold / Ivory / Alligator

The lug width of the Omega De Ville 422.53.41.52.09.001 is 20 millimetres. This measurement is essential for strap compatibility: when measuring perpendicular to the spring bars, the distance between the outer edges must correspond to exactly 20mm. It is fundamental to verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

For a timepiece of this elegance and material value, African alligator is the optimal solution: the fine grain and natural patina dialogue perfectly with 18-carat white gold. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf represents the compromise between tactile nobility and sustainability, while Japanese shell cordovan offers density and a lustre that reflects the luminosity of the case.

To change the strap, you will need a specific tool for spring bars (spring bar tool). Gently remove the old strap by compressing the spring bars from underneath with the tool, then disconnect the lug from the case. Insert the spring bars of the new strap into the housings, ensuring the bars are fully inserted. If the process intimidates you, consult a specialized workshop or directly contact the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes, perfectly compatible. The aftermarket strap must have a lug width of 20 millimetres. Milano Straps offers a complete selection of artisanal straps in this size, customizable in leather (alligator, calf, cordovan), colour, initials and stitching type. Artisanal quality guarantees a superior result compared to standard straps.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on use and care. With moderate daily use and controlled humidity exposure, a quality alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap can last 3-5 years before needing replacement. Shell cordovan, for its superior density, can exceed 5 years. The Casati Milano atelier guarantees 18 months on its workmanship, but actual longevity depends on your maintenance habits.
