Strap for De Ville Prestige Quartz 24.4 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Champagne / Bracelet

The lug width of the De Ville 424.20.24.60.08.001 is 18 millimetres, measured from inside to inside of the attachment pins. This dimension is critical to ensure perfect fitment and avoid lateral play that could damage the case.

Dark brown or cognac alligator is the optimal choice for this dress watch, as the natural texture enhances the yellow gold case. Excellent alternatives are shell cordovan for natural aging and box calf for superior durability.

The De Ville 424.20.24.60.08.001 uses standard straight pins. With a dedicated tool (pin extractor or spring bar tool), insert the pin into the lug hole, gently compressing the internal spring until it releases. This operation requires precision to avoid damaging the case attachments.

Yes, any strap with an 18 millimetre lug width is compatible. It is essential to verify that the width is exact (neither 17 nor 19 millimetres) to ensure safety and aesthetics. The craftsmen at Milano Straps offer custom straps with an 18-month warranty.

The durability depends on the material: alligator and shell cordovan, with quality tanning and appropriate care, last 3-5 years of daily use. Box calf is more durable (up to 6-7 years), while less noble leathers last 1-2 years. Periodic cleaning and protection from moisture significantly extend the life of the strap.
