Strap for De Ville Prestige Quartz 24.4 Stainless Steel / Red Gold / MOP / Bracelet

The lug width of the De Ville 424.20.24.60.05.002 is 20mm. This measurement is standard for the small De Ville family and is essential to ensure strap compatibility. To verify it, measure the distance between the two pins that support the strap, from outside to outside.

Alligator is the most natural choice for this watch, thanks to its regular texture and color depth that complement the two-tone case and mother-of-pearl dial. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf offers an aging patina that adds character, while polished smooth calf elegantly harmonizes with the mother-of-pearl. FKM rubber remains ideal for daily use and aquatic environments.

The De Ville 424.20.24.60.05.002 uses removable spring bars. Using a dedicated tool or a small flat screwdriver, gently push the spring bar's spring inward while lifting the strap to free the pins. Repeat on the other side. To install the new strap, align the pins with the case slots and press until you feel the spring snap into place.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible. However, it is recommended to consult specialized craftsmen who understand the aesthetic value of the watch and propose finishes and materials worthy of Omega's quality. Low-quality generic straps can compromise the elegance of the timepiece.

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 3-5 years under daily use conditions, varying based on frequency, climate, and care applied. Leather deserves protection from excessive moisture and dirt. A well-maintained strap, regularly cleaned and repaired at the first sign of wear, can last beyond 5 years, developing a fascinating patina.
