Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 39.5 Stainless Steel / Orbis

The lug width of the De Ville 424.13.40.20.03.003 is 20 mm. This is the internal distance between the two pins that connect the case to the strap. It is essential to measure it correctly using a digital caliper before purchasing a compatible strap.

Dark brown alligator or Mocha represents the premier choice for this model. It creates a harmonious pairing with the blue dial and offers durability spanning multiple years. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather develops a natural patina that reflects the aging of the stainless steel case.

Changing the strap on the De Ville requires two tools: a spring bar tool and a small pair of tweezers. Position the spring bar tool in the groove of the pin, apply downward pressure to compress the internal spring, then slide the pin out of the case. The reverse process enables installation of the new strap. If you prefer, the Casati Milano atelier offers a fitting service by appointment.

Only if the strap strictly complies with the 20 mm lug width specification. Most standard straps are not compatible with this specific dimension. We recommend custom-made straps from specialized suppliers such as milanostraps.it, which guarantee perfect fit without any compromises in construction.

An alligator or shell cordovan strap typically lasts 4-6 years with daily wear, thanks to the durability of these leathers. Vegetable-tanned calf has a slightly shorter lifespan (3-4 years), but develops a fascinating patina over time. Longevity depends on exposure to moisture, direct sunlight, and frequency of use. Casati Milano straps include an 18-month warranty.
