Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 36.8 Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The lug width of this model is 19mm, a rare and specific measurement that reflects the proportions designed by Omega's manufacture. This width maintains the visual balance between the case diameter of 36.80mm and the height of the structure. Before purchasing an aftermarket strap, verify that the end link is compatible with this exact measurement.

Authentic alligator with regular geometric texture is the choice for aesthetic continuity, while vegetable-tanned calf offers a softness that elegantly contrasts with the brushed stainless steel case. Shell cordovan is ideal for those seeking a patina that evolves over time. The choice depends on how you intend to wear the watch: formal, daily, or mixed.

The Omega De Ville is equipped with lugs featuring lateral grooves. Position a watch holder on a soft surface, insert a spring bar tool into the groove, gently press toward the center and simultaneously extract the lug. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap by aligning the ends with the case cavities and press until you feel the locking click. Avoid abrupt movements.

Only straps with a 19mm lug width are compatible. MilanoStraps offers a collection dedicated to this width in various materials (alligator, calf, shell cordovan, rubber). Always verify that the strap thickness does not exceed the geometry of the case groove, checking the detail images provided by the seller.

The lifespan depends on the material and maintenance. An alligator or shell cordovan strap, with proper care (drying after moisture, annual conditioning), lasts 5-7 years of daily wear. Vegetable-tanned calf resists 3-5 years. The Casati Milano atelier offers an 18-month warranty on custom-made straps and provides advice on seasonal maintenance.
