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

The lug width of the De Ville 424.20.24.60.55.001 is 20mm. This dimension is specific to this model and the Trésor family. Always verify the size with a digital caliper before ordering an aftermarket strap, measuring the internal space between the two lugs of the case.

For this watch we recommend straps in dark brown or black alligator, or satin calf leather in neutral tones. Alligator emphasizes formal elegance thanks to its regular grain, while calf offers a patina that evolves with daily use. We advise against rubber and silicone: they strip the watch of its identity.

The strap is changed by removing the spring bars that connect the lugs to the case. Extract the spring bar with a dedicated tool (spring bar tool), disconnect the old strap and install the new one. Ensure that the spring bars are properly positioned in the grooves: they must not protrude. If you are unsure, consult a professional watchmaker.

Yes, the De Ville 424.20.24.60.55.001 is fully compatible with quality 20mm aftermarket straps. However, we recommend choosing straps specifically designed for luxury watches: the control over finishing quality, stitching and patina makes the difference. Avoid cheap straps that may come unstitched or lose color.

A quality leather strap on a daily-worn watch typically lasts 2-3 years before showing obvious signs of wear (cracking, loss of elasticity). Factors such as climate, type of leather (alligator lasts longer than calf), frequency of use and care affect longevity. The Casati Milano atelier offers an 18-month warranty on custom-made artisanal straps.
