What I'm asked about the Omega De Ville 422.53.44.51.13.001
What strap size does the Omega De Ville 422.53.44.51.13.001 take?
The Omega De Ville 422.53.44.51.13.001 needs 20 mm between the lugs, usually 16 mm at the buckle. It's the size I've been fitting on it for years.
Can the strap on the Omega De Ville 422.53.44.51.13.001 be changed?
Yes. It has spring bars between the lugs: with the right tool the strap comes off in a minute. If you'd rather not risk a scratch, I do it in the workshop.
Can I put a leather strap on the Omega De Ville 422.53.44.51.13.001?
Yes, in 20 mm leather. On a 44 mm chronograph I like box calf: it holds its shape and carries a substantial case.
Which strap do you recommend for the Omega De Ville 422.53.44.51.13.001?
A 20 mm box calf. You'll find it ready in the 20 mm collection. If you'd rather have something built on your wrist, the Casati atelier.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use aftermarket straps with the reference 422.53.44.51.13.001?
Yes, provided the lug width is 20mm as verified in production. Milano Straps offers straps online ready for shipment, tested for this width. For superior quality control, Casati Milano customizes straps to order with direct selection of leathers and stitching thread of your choice.
How long does a leather strap last on a watch worn daily?
A leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) with daily use typically offers 2–3 years of nominal lifespan, variable according to body perspiration and climate. Vegetable tanning tends to age more slowly than chromic tanning. Casati Milano guarantees 18 months and offers services for spring bar replacement and repair by appointment.
