Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 39.5 Stainless Steel / Vintage Silver Silk

The lug width of the Omega De Ville 424.13.40.20.02.006 is exactly 20 mm. This measurement should be verified by checking the internal space between the two metal lugs of the case, not the visible width of the original strap. It is essential to measure correctly to ensure compatibility of the new strap.

Cognac brown calf is the most elegant and classic choice, creating a harmonious pairing with the steel case. For those wanting structural solidity, black alligator offers distinctive texture and superior durability. A natural silk NATO is perfect for everyday versatility, while burgundy shell cordovan creates a more magnetic and contemporary atmosphere.

The strap is replaced using a spring bar tool to extract the pins that hold the strap to the case lugs. Gently insert the tool into the small hole beneath the lug, press outward and the pin will come out. Then secure the new 20mm strap by performing the reverse procedure. If you are not experienced, a professional watchmaker will complete the job in minutes.

Absolutely yes. Any strap with a 20 mm lug width is compatible. Artisanal straps are indeed the preferred choice among collectors who desire customization, superior build quality and opportunities for aesthetic evolution over time. Online you will find a wide selection of 20mm straps in various materials and colors.

A quality artisanal calf strap has an average lifespan of 2-4 years with regular daily use, depending on ambient humidity, frequency of use and care. Alligator and shell cordovan, due to their denser structure, easily reach 4-6 years. Periodic maintenance (cleaning with a soft brush, avoiding prolonged sun exposure) significantly extends the life of the strap.
